~~ Hello! Welcome to my art blog. Where I blog about art ( just a little redundancy there for you :) and maybe a few other things here and there. My name is Catherine :) I am the KrEative GatHerER! At least, I'd like to think so. I am for the most part, a self taught "Artist". My goal is to someday feel, at least, adequate enough for the tile of Artist! In the meantime, I love coffee , tea, wine ( yes in that order ) and to submerge myself in my Art! I do mean that literally. It can be quite messy at times. ~~

Up Close and Personal

I love nature and the beautiful animals that live in it. A couple of months ago I was able to capture these marvellous creatures. Impressive and exquisite. Sea Lions are so clumsy on land. Yet, so graceful and magnificent in the water.  I was completely engulfed and enjoyed every moment of my close encounter.   

This was so incredible to be able to get this close to these wonderful creatures.  Lazily moving about, belly flopping, snorting, grumbling and growling. Entirely enjoying the sun.

 So much fun to watch. These aquatic acrobats had jumped up onto the dock and were playfully and  inquisitively diving in and out of the cool water. Such a rewarding experience! It was an awe-inspiring moment to be able to capture these animals out in their natural habitat. 



This picture makes me smile everytime I look at it!  How deliriously happy is he? Euphoric! Nothing describes him better.  May we all find great delight in the smallest of things!

The most epic moment of all was realizing that this was just a small taste of what the future will bring!  How I look forward to being able to enjoy these beautiful animals to the fullest.  The way we were meant to enjoy them.

So sweet

This is my first picture of a Hummingbird.  I was so excited! Not to mention surprised to see this little guy yesterday morning since it is snowing out! I am eagerly awaiting this coming Spring.  Hopefully with much persistence and patience I will be able to capture more of these darling little birds. 



A miniature bird
With an ample hunger
Curious and eager
Consuming sweet nectar
A marvelous collector
Perfect grace
Within a hyper little case
