"The Mystery of Cats" Create-a-thon: 12 hours of creating tomorrow!

“The Mystery of Cats” exhibit has been on display at Second April Galerie in Canton, OH for a couple of weeks now.

As promised, I will hold a 12 hour “Create-a-thon” in conjunction with the exhibit tomorrow (Thursday, October 18).  I will create artworks in the gallery for 12 hours (9 am – 9 pm) and make them available for auction the following day (Friday, October 19). The works created during the Create-a-thon will be auctioned to raise money for the latest Okey’s Promise: Art for a Cause project. You can donate straight to the project as well, regardless of the auction. 🙂

Some of the artworks will be paintings, some drawings, and maybe a surprise or two. Not all of them will be cats, although I am sure there will be a few mysterious felines in the bunch. All will be great for giving as gifts for the upcoming holidays!

Be watching my posts on Facebook and Twitter to see the works in progress throughout the day. Or better yet, stop by the gallery at 324 Cleveland Ave., NW and visit as I create!

The Mystery of Cats – "Keyboard Cat"

Something about a cat at a keyboard is both intriguing and amusing.

The  idea has spawned an infinite number of internet memes and jokes about feline frivolity.

A case could be made that the whole business of viral videos began with the infamous Keyboard Cat.

My “Keyboard Cat” painting is a bit different than all that nonsense, but still is fun and mysterious.

It is part of “The Mystery of Cats” show that I will have on display at Second April Galerie starting this Friday during the Canton First Friday event.

The series of feline themed artworks will be on display at Second April Galerie at 324 Cleveland Ave., Canton, OH beginning First Friday (October 5, 2012) and will remain through October 27.

If you are in Canton, I hope you will stop in and see them!
