Here you will find a fun outline drawing of four cats arranged in a circular kaleidoscope pattern, with four hearts arranged in the center where the cats' bodies meet.
I love cats and making cat designs. I was intrigued by some of the mandala type coloring books and liked the ones that were more simple; less lines are actually more fun to me. Voila, the idea was born. A mandala of cats, which also reminds me of a kaleidoscope design.
May and or your cat loving friends and family enjoy some cat-tastic fun.
These four cats can be enjoyed as they are, and on some ideas for painting and coloring fun.
For some painting fun, the cats are printed on wrapped canvas. This can be a fun kids project and or one for adults. It can be the purr-fect solution for the blank space on the wall. It can also make a nice gift.
Kids to adults can have multiple times of coloring and or painting fun with these kaleidoscope cats notepads. There are 40 sheets to a pad, for multiple times and or for multiple kids. The recommended size is 5.5 by 6 inches, which allows printing of the whole design.
Another option for painting is a cute apron. These aprons are a 35/65 cotton-poly twill blend and are machine washable. I recommend washing the aprons first, without fabric softener, and drying them completely before painting. Place protection under the apron to prevent bleed through of the paints. I have used acrylic fabric paint before with good results.
Thank you for visiting. Please feel free to share this page with other cat lovers.

Art On Products - Pink Flying Pig Sprinkling Blue Stars
I had heard of the saying, When pigs fly, back in my younger day. I was surprised when I met my husband that there is a city that actually has statues of flying pigs,Cincinnati. I can't say why I decided to paint a flying pig. It just occurred to me to paint one. And not just any flying pig. This pig is carrying a magic wand that sprinkles stars. At least that is what I imagine it doing. The wand has a blue star on its tip. From it, the pig was going to generate more blue stars. How cool is that!
Here is this cool pink pig pictured on stickers.
I didn't want to use anybody else's idea of a flying pig. So I went with the idea of what's round like that flies. A bumble bee of course. So I used images of flying bumble bees to get my general drawing and wings done. Then I browsed images of pigs to get the general placement of the snout, ear, toes, etc. Next he got a magic wand with a blue star.
Because it's magic when pigs fly...
Here is this cool pig pictured on throw pillows.
Wouldn't it be awesome to have fun imagining a desired outcome!
Are you inching to make something of your own with this flying pink pig? Here is the link for some fabric for a sewing creation. You can choose from a variety of fabric types ranging from cotton to linen.

Art on Products - Peace Flag Products
The original flag for the United States had the thirteen red and white stripes, with a circle of stars. Using that as the basis for a new idea, I decided to make a peace sign out of the stars and place them on a background of red and white stripes. Their number is still thirteen, and there are fifty stars that make up the peace sign.
This makes a lovely design on throw pillows. The reverse side is solid red for more options.
They make a fun way to share some patriotic news on postcards.

Art on Products, Dragonfly Painting
I saw this dragonfly when we were on vacation. It was perched on a rail outside on the patio. I wondered if he would he stay there long enough so that I could take his picture. He did! I love the coloring and the delicate looking, yet strong wings. I love painting things from nature. He was a delight to see. May you enjoy this colorful dragonfly too.
Here he is on greeting cards to help send your message. The front of the card says, Buzzing your way... The inside says, to wish you a happy day.
Dragonflies are commonly found near fresh water. There is a pond that is approximately 1/2 mile from where I live, and a river that is about 1-1/2 miles away, in the opposite direction. We do have the sightings of dragonflies where we live in West Virginia, in the spring and summer.
I thought this handsome dragonfly would make a lovely puzzle. You can choose from a variety of puzzle sizes, and also the number of puzzle pieces, from easy to challenging.
I referred to this dragonfly as a he, but actually, I don't know whether it is a male or a female. Male dragonflies have a bulge on the underside near the abdomen, whereas the female underside is smooth.
Here is the same dragonfly done in watercolor for a softer look:
I hope that you enjoyed my dragonfly options and hope you enjoy more dragonfly sightings.

Art on Products - Colorful Tropical Fish
Here you will find a variety of products with various tropical fish designs on them.
I love looking at tropical fish. They are so colorful, and the patterns are varied. You can find stripes, solids, dots, and more. Here I made a collage painting of various colorful tropical fish that I've seen at large aquariums.
You can see the small version on address labels. They are easy to personalize.
Sometimes you can see a baby fish swimming with its mother. You can see what I mean on this apron. These fish can be colored in with paint markers for a one of a kind tropical look, or they can be worn as is for a simple drawing design.
What if a painting of tropical fish was used to show whether the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty? Check out these magnets:
I made my own version of abstract tropical fish with blue tape! Here it is printed on tshirts:
Thank you for visiting.

Art on Products - Rainbow Mosaic Butterfly
I knew I wanted to paint a rainbow butterfly, but I didn't know quite how I was going to do it. So I just let the thought ponder, and went on about other tasks at hand. Then one day, I had another idea. The crackle medium for acrylic paints. Yes! That's how I can do the pattern on the wings.
I drew the butterfly, from a side view, and base coated it with a cream like color. After that dried, I applied the Crackle Medium.
After that was dry, I added a contrasting top color. As the top coat dries, the crackles will appear. The contrasting color helps the crackles lines to show through.
I had originally thought of painting the crackle lines in black, but after painting in my rainbow colors, I liked the look of the lighter color showing through. So after I painted all the rainbow colors, I painted the in between lines in white, and just the directional lines in black.
In my artist software, I erased the background color so the butterfly could print, without a white border. This way the customer can choose a different background color.
Here is the design printed on stickers:
Here is the rainbow butterfly printed on throw pillows.
Here it is printed on tshirts. You can choose the tshirt style and color. On darker shirt colors, you can have a white underbase printed under the butterfly, to have the butterfly look more vibrant on the dark background.

Art on Products - Coloring Santa Claus
Here you will find products with an outline of Santa on them, that can be colored and or painted in for some extra holiday fun.
When I was a kid, I loved painting and coloring in outline drawings on fabric. In those days, the only choices for color in designs were table cloths, pillow cases, and velvety pictures. Now the choices include t-shirts, canvas bags, aprons, quilt squares, and more.
Here are some fun coloring designs for one of our most famous characters, Santa Claus.
First up is Santa postcards. Your recipient(s) can receive a fun coloring activity in the mail. Markers for glossy paper can be a good choice for these. You can also choose the matte finish for postcards.
Here Santa is on a canvas bag. Kids can color this ahead of time, with fabric paint pens, and use as their Christmas stocking.
For kids of all ages that like to wear their art, we have Santa outlines on tee shirts. You can choose any shirt style, color, and or size. Fabric paint markers can be used for adding color to these tshirts and also the aprons below. Be sure to place a flat sheet of cardboard under the fabric to prevent bleed through.
If you want to get in the mood for baking cookies, etc., we have an apron for you to color and don.
May you enjoy coloring fun for the holidays.

Art on Products - Pointillism Santa Claus by CherylsArt
For most people, the thought of Santa Claus brings thoughts of joy, wishes granted, and a time for merriment. This painting of Santa in Pointillism reminds me of all of this. He looks cheerful, artful, and content. If I were a child, I would love to receive a cute canvas bag with a picture of Pointillism Santa, filled with goodies of course.
