CAT TESLA FINE ART. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. The Top 10 Things Overheard in My Art Booth in 2014. Cat at a show in the fall of 2014. 169;2014 Cat Tesla. When you're at an art show, your booth space is not really all that big. People are in there all around you. In fact, you're close enough to reach out and touch them. You hear a LOT of stuff. So much in fact, that I write down my favorites. And here they are! My "top ten" conversations, questions, and things overheard in my booth in 2014:. Me: Yes, an...

CAT TESLA FINE ART: December 2013

CAT TESLA FINE ART. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Nothing But Blue Skies. Nothing but Blue Skies", 36"x36". Over Thanksgiving I went to Paris and traveled to surrounding towns along the Seine. One of them was Auvers-sur-Oise, where Van Gogh. I think there's a lot of magic and inspiration all around us if we just stop to take it in. That's my plan for 2014: to look deeper and appreciate the now. Increase my powers of observation and appreciation, and really take a good look around. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

CAT TESLA FINE ART. Sunday, August 17, 2014. A Summer of Discovery. Cat next to her sandcastle. It's hard to believe summer is just about over. With a couple shows in June and intense focus in the studio since then, there's a lot of fresh new artwork I'm excited to show you this fall. For me the season begins this weekend in Chicago at the Port Clinton show. I'm bringing all new paintings, hot off the easel! Ail me for an appointment. And of course, there is no obligation :).

CAT TESLA FINE ART: September 2013
http://catteslafineart.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
CAT TESLA FINE ART. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. 169;2013 Cat Tesla. Isn't it great when you have a good show where your artwork is selling well? There's a sense of thrill, the acknowledgement of people who "get" your visual voice, and all that empty space in your studio when you return home. I call it "the artist's high". I've had plenty of both of the above experiences. And my guess is, so have you. You're not alone. For me, the key to moving forward in both. Either way, I own it. Steve Martin, The Crow.

CAT TESLA FINE ART: Grateful to be an Artist

CAT TESLA FINE ART. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Grateful to be an Artist. 169;2015 Cat Tesla. I know I haven't blogged in awhile. Been sorta crazy busy with art shows and commissions and life in between. Right now I'm trying to catch up on "The Good Wife" and "Blacklist" while sipping a Zinfandel I picked up at Trader Joe's that happens to be pretty darn good. I'm also eating part (only part) of my chocolate Easter bunny given to me by my Mom ( I know. I'm in my 50's but my Mom is still my Mom. A Guide to O...

CAT TESLA FINE ART: January 2014
http://catteslafineart.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
CAT TESLA FINE ART. Friday, January 31, 2014. Whispering Wind", 36"x36". 169;2014 Cat Tesla. In the past month we have lost 2 dear friends. Both were amazing humans. One, an artist, a fearless abstract painter, with a heart of gold and a more-than-memorable presence. The other a hard-working family man who also found time to serve his community. Both died unexpectedly at young ages, and went quick. With great sadness I think of them and their families. You just never know. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

CAT TESLA FINE ART. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. 12 Shows in 13 Weeks. On the road to Chicago. 169;2014 Cat Tesla. Cat in Indianapolis ©2014 Cat Tesla. My wish is that we might progressively lose confidence in what we believe and the things we consider stable and secure, in order to remind ourselves of the infinite number of things still waiting to be discovered.". I just finished 12 successful shows in 13 weeks - - and suffice it to say it’s good to be home! Being organized was key! Yoga, massage, and ...
