Last year I did not enter a lot of competitions other than those at the RAL Art Center. I didn’t figure I’d enter many this year either, but it turns out I’m already applying to enter three!

I’m pleased to announce that my pastel painting, “Hug Point” recently won an award from the Mid-Atlantic Pastel Society.

Abstraction on the Swamp Wins a Prize

September 23, 2018 Cate Kauffman StudiosLeave a comment

I’m very honored to have won a ribbon for Honorable Mention at the RAL Art Center… Continue reading Abstraction on the Swamp Wins a Prize

COVID 19 has thrown a lot of folks for a loop. Staying home, food shortages, boredom, and generally questioning how we live our lives has caused a lot of folks to start looking at how to become more self-sustaining. This site will include a wide variety of things including how to cook from scratch (really, really scratch) and create a garden in hot & humid Virginia, our adventures in turning a shed into a chicken coop, and working with an old orchard that produces an abundance of ugly but perfectly edible fruit. And how to do all this with just two of us old geezers (I'll be 61 in June 2020 and my husband is older).
