Cat in the Lap Studio: May 2010

Original Art by Amanda Taylor Spiers

I am an artist and stay-at-home mom living in Virginia Beach. I love color, and I love PAINT! I am inspired by places that are full of energy and color. Just some of the things I enjoy painting include the Virginia Beach boardwalk, architecture, nature and my cats. I also love, love, love painting things for children. I am only an artist because my Creator ordained it so, and I owe all of my talent and all of my successes to Him. I consider myself very fortunate to have unique ideas and the ability to do something with them.

Spring Work

I haven't updated this blog in quite some time but that doesn't mean that I haven't been painting! Here are some new pieces including my entries into the "Bloomin' Art Show" at the gallery in April and new work that I displayed at the VB Art and Wine Festival by the Fountain in May.
