It was a frigid -4 this morning but that didn’t stop the intrepid @thomasbarlowsculpture from decorating the studio for the holidays. This year we cannot host a traditional open house but we welcome visitors by appointment. Here’s why it’s worth the short drive:
1. We have a large studio so social distancing is a cinch.
2. We have holiday refreshments.
3. The wrapping is on us.
4. We will laugh at your jokes.
Please email Caroline@isacatto.com to make your plans.

The California Condor was the second American bird in our endangered bird painting series. The whole studio fell in love with these enormous new world vultures and we often tuned into the Ventana Wildlife Society’s condor cam. The Dolan Fire severely damaged VWS’s Big Sur Condor Sanctuary further putting this endangered species at risk. We decided to host an auction of the original California Condor watercolor to contribute to the sanctuary’s rebuild. Join us on December 7th - 11th and bid through our website to help Condor preservation. Check our Instagram stories for updates or go to our website and search California Condor. And be sure to follow @ventanawildlifesociety for Condor updates and news.

Rocky Mountain light never disappoints and makes it easy to photograph our models and products. Swipe right for one of the color inspirations for this flower kisser scarf..... Did you know that each e-commerce and studio sale of our Italian silk scarves plants a mangrove? Read more on link in bio.

I hope everyone had a lovely and safe holiday. Ours was quiet —I caught up on some reading and prepared for the calm before the holiday studio shipping frenzy. I love winter and snow and shadows and the pause in the growing season. But I do struggle with the long nights and less daylight. The best defense is to plant bulbs. Lots of them. They store well in a paper bag and with a little 💗 they come back to light up our house. It works every time.

Just over fifteen years ago we drove through a blizzard to wait for your grand entrance. You started your path with a flair for drama and it never quit you. It makes sense that you are a magician and a tireless advocate for social justice. Happy Birthday beloved @duncan_h_a_shaw. We hate not being able to spend this day with you but here’s to a celebration when you get home. I sure do miss that ready laugh! #mothersandsons #sonshine
