Gimme Dat Cookie...and A Glass of Lemonade





Marianne Ginsberg posted a digital artwork that she had done of a participation project from Wet Canvas. It featured the coatimundi pictured above. Being the snoopy visitor that I am, I had to check it out. So I joined up with Wet Canvas, went to the featured thread, and did a quick coatimundi myself. Known as pizote here in Costa Rica, they are awesome and endearing little creatures. I posted a picture below of a bunch of em I caught on film while at Arenal volcano one day.




They are all female..the guys travel alone. These are probably headed to WalMart. The thread was posted by Bob Cook, an artist from San Marcos, Texas, that I plan on meeting up with shortly. Hi
s Wet Canvas handle is tgsloth and his profile shows him cuddling a full grown bobcat, that is licking his face. How can I resist meeting a guy like that? If ya want to check it out Click Paint It Out.


Cathyann Burgess, the little sweetie, honored me with a Lemonade award. Well, you know that old saying...."When life gives you lemons...Order a Pizza". Or something like that. The award is for artist-bloggers with a positive attitude and gratitude...people who are willing to share their ideas, support and friendship. Cathyann...I am very flattered you think that of me...blush, blush. Thank you so much.

I am to pick 5 or so other artist-bloggers who fit that category, and pass it on to them. Those are....
Manon Doyle
Vern Schwarz
Lauren Maurer
Carol Nelson
Angela Elledge

These folks are to... (1) Post the Logo (2) Pick 5 or so other deserving artist-bloggers (3) List em and Link em (4) Drop em a notification comment and give em a hug, and (5) Sit back and have a cup of coffee...or a glass of lemonade, as the case may be.

More great children portraits on Windows to the Words Art...including Gwen Bell and Diana Marshall. Check it out...2 days left.

See ya down the Road..................James

  9. Those coatis are so cute. The SF Zoo has only two. It would be awesome to see so many at the same time, and they all are female! Your painting is adorable. I might join this challenge at Wet Canvas.

  13. Much congrats to you James for a well deserved award; I think all of us here would agree that you are a most positive and supportive person and we're all happy to know you! Great painting of the little gals, I don't think I have ever seen those guys before. Thank you for passing on the Lemonade Award on to me; I think I will enjoy a little glass myself.
