8″x10″ acrylic on canvas, 2009. I’m that crazy lady with the camera at your kid’s birthday party who takes a zillion pictures (to make up for my terrible photograpy skills — thank goodness for the excess that digital allows for!). But what makes my paparazzing a bit unusual is my tendancy to focus on the children’s toys and stuffed animals. Always in search of fun subject matter! We recently took Sonja to her friend Lila’s 2nd birthday party and got to meet her VIP possession “Lamby.” But perhaps the most significant thing about that event for me was my introduction to Lila’s mommy’s native cuisine, the Utica Tomato Pie!

Don Gato
Don Gato 5×7″ acrylic on canvas 2009 — Target sold a series of fantastic yarn-knit stuffed animals a couple of years ago called L’atitude Enfant, and I bought the cat, mouse, and chicken “for Sonja” (for me.) When she was really tiny, I would wiggle the cat in her face and sing the following to the tune of the song “Don Gato:”
Baby Sonja has a special cat!
He is made of yarn and not so fat!
His red and orange and stripey (myow myow myow)
And he rocks a purple sweater (myow myow myow)
and in Spanish he’s “Don Gato!”
This painting arrive wired for hanging and framed simply in pine.
$70 plus $7 shipping

Squishy Kitty
5×7 acrylic on canvas, 2009. Say “Hello” to this squeezeable Kitty. She is definately the cutest stress-reliever on anybody’s desk. Or, as is the case at our house, on anybody’s high-chair tray getting Cheerios smashed into her non-existant mouth.
