Every gardener can identify the hard workers — the perennials that need little care but still deliver. Oriental poppies are a popular choice for high-altitude gardens and were the inspiration for this painting. We re-worked the painting into a pattern and it now dwells on notebooks, wrap skirts, silk scarves, neck gaiters, and more,⁠

For your next getaway, this wrap skirt is the perfect addition to your travel wardrobe! It packs light, feels light, and is versatile — plus it comes with a coordinating pouch. Style it for the mountains or the beach, and everything in between.
@fionashw kindly obliged to model while she is home (briefly alas) and is wearing our Green Leaf Wrap. Swipe for color inspiration🎨.

Here’s to the mighty trio who turned me into a mother. I came to motherhood late in life and one of my favorite kid quips came via our youngest: “Mom, our class figured it out. You are the oldest mother in the class — but don’t worry —you don’t look the oldest!” I’ll take it! I am now an empty nester who impatiently awaits their returns like a child waiting for a birthday. I marvel at their expanding intellects and worldview. Thank you my beloveds for bringing so much joy, and laughter, and for being loving and constant teachers. Los quiero mucho.⁠

Watercolor is often overlooked as an important medium. It’s linked to hobbyists, children, Prince Charles, and retirees. And me. I used to paint in oils until I developed a bizarre allergy that delivered hives. When I used oils, my arms often looked like they’d been attacked by an angry insect. So I moved to water-based mediums like acrylic but now prefer watercolor. It looks deceptively easy but I think it is one of the more challenging paint mediums out there, except for tempera. I am writing about my love for watercolor in my next blog post. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter at isacatto.com to get blog updates, info about studio happenings, and more in your inbox!

“Study for Persephone and Pluto I” is a study for a series I did on the myth of Persephone and Demeter. Persephone was kidnapped by Hades, the God of the underworld, and subsequently vanished from the earth. Her mother, Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, was wild with grief and neglected her duties, plunging the world into hunger. She roamed the earth searching for her daughter and eventually found her in the underworld. She brokered a deal with Pluto to return her only child for six months of the year. Persephone is with her mother during spring and summer. And when she is with Hades, her mother shuts down the growing season. 2003. 16.25 x 20 inches unframed.⁠
