Aw, just want to reach right through the screen and give Ellie May a kiss on the forward. She looks like a fairly relaxed snoopervisor *g*. The bird paintings are going to be great.
These photos are classics!!! How funny to see Ellie May (is she named after the 'Dallas' character?) so intent upon the bird drawings! As always, love your humor and your beautiful work!
quiltcat, Ellie May is quite delicate now (she's about 16) and I do kiss her little head often!
Judy, We didn't name Ellie May, when she was a kitten she lived in an apartment above our gallery with the people that owned the building we were renting our shop space from and they named her...it's probably for the Ellie May Clampett in the Beverly Hillbilles! It's so nice to be working with Ellie's full attention to my every detail!
Rose, Thanks for visiting...Ellie May is an expert on the details of birds! She's been studying them with great patience for many years!
Karen LR, It is so special for me to have Ellie May as an artist cat...we've spent so much time together...I knew her for about 4 or 5 years before she moved into our gallery in 1998 and then we always together. She had an important role in the shop and we could just look at each other the across the room and there was a definite communication. Oh, just thinking about those days is inspiring me to take out the stories I had written about Ellie May and Walter and try to finish up the illustrations I had begun.
I'm an artist/illustrator specializing in ink and watercolors and photography. My little studio in Maine is nestled in our garden by a babbling brook. Everyday I draw inspiration from the pets who have touched my life, our garden, birds and wildlife critters, quaint old houses, children, shells, scenes of the seaside and more.
Hope to share my art and observations with you and don't forget to take a moment to notice the precious little things around you.
click "Kimbea" the featured pet above to see samples of custom pet portraits and info. I can work from your photos with ink and watercolors to create a lasting memory of a beloved pet.

I'm sure Ellie May can provide an expert's opinion on the finer details of your drawings:) The chickadee is beautiful!
Oh, that's right - the Dallas character was 'Miss Elly!"!
She is a beautiful cat.
I almost always appreciate some feline collaboration. Ellie May seems quite spry for her age, and very dedicated to her/your work.
