A black cat sits on an old fence, gazing up at a glowing crescent moon in a starry midnight sky. This one is simple and dramatic: use the included acrylic paints to paint the deep blue night, add the moon and stars, then finish with the cat's silhouette and curly tail. It's great for beginners and perfect for spooky season. It also makes a sweet gift for any cat lover.

Our Story….
For 15 years, I taught art from preschool to college level, and watched students light up the moment they picked up a brush. Even the ones who swore they "couldn't paint" walked away proud.
My Bachelor of Fine Arts taught me technique, but I kept seeing that painting did something deeper, so I earned my Master's in Counseling to understand why.
I started Rush & Ruge Paint to reconnect people with art. I want every kit to be a safe space to slow down, relax and create, whether you're painting on your own, coming together with friends and family, or even scheduling a personal session with me. One small canvas at a time, I hope you'll rediscover the joy of making something that's truly yours.
