Spring Competitions

February 2, 2020 Cate Kauffman StudiosLeave a comment

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’ll, of course, keep you posted if I get into to any of them. The hardest thing about… Continue reading Spring Competitions

Abstraction on the Swamp Wins a Prize

September 23, 2018 Cate Kauffman StudiosLeave a comment

This one is not political. Honest. I just happen to live down creek from a swamp that is really, really beautiful. I love to take the kayak up the creek just to visit the marsh grasses, birds and flowers. 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

Raccoon Painting Re-homed

September 1, 2018October 21, 2022 Cate Kauffman StudiosLeave a comment

I’m delighted to announce that my beloved Raccoon painting has found a new home! She sold at the RAL Art Center today to a new-to-me patron.  Since I took her photo last Spring, she has begun bringing around her four cubs (I think they are called cubs and not pups). So I hope to get… Continue reading Raccoon Painting Re-homed

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).
