Saturday Snapshot ~ Jane Yelliott and her art

Here's my friend Jane Yelliott at the In-Town Gallery's "First Friday" event last night.  She's standing beside Koi (left) and Water Lilies (right), two of her ceramic tiles hanging in the Gallery.  Here are close-ups of those two tiles (click to enlarge the images).

Jane is quoted online:
“Having the curiosity of a cat led me to explore many different mediums by studying with the very best of instructors.  Always with a passion for painting the living breathing human form, I delight in portraying the innocence of children as well as nudes.  Animals, particularly cats, are great subject matter.  I have enjoyed creating cloisonné jewelry and working with silver and gold, but at present I am concentrating on pastels, watercolor, and ceramic glazing on porcelain tiles.  Variety is the spice of life!”

In November, I posted this picture of Jane's cat Sheba, which hangs on the wall at her house.  Two or three years ago, Jane offered to paint my cat Kiki.  I have now commissioned her to do it.  Speaking of Kiki, I think you should feed her Caturday koi.

Caturday ~ feed the fish



I've been so busy watching these fish that I forgot to feed them.  Would you mind feeding the koi for me?  Click the water to give them food.




Kiki Cat, signing off

(Oh, was yesterday Caturday?)
