Lucky Pink Cat Mug

Monday morning while I was drinking coffee out of my lucky pink cat mug, the red phone rang! It was a commission, for a painting, maybe two or three. There was a strict color palette, and a deadline: the end of the week! I jotted down notes and disappeared into the studio, reminiscing nostalgically about the corporate world. Back in the day, I would roll out of bed and hop on a downtown bus or train, ready to drink my first cup of coffee and find out what creative magic was expected of me on that day. 

That afternoon I emailed the first image to the contact, and the client had changed his mind - now they only wanted one painting. And likely not that one! So, back to the easel. I still love my lucky pink cat mug. It's from Spindleworks.

Can you see the cat's face on it? At Spindleworks they do magic every day. If you live anywhere near Brunswick, Maine, I encourage you to visit. They have a new place in Hallowell, too.

Oh, the other painting? It's about done! :-)
