New paintings and regular art updates.
My boy cat has gone missing. If you live in Stoke-on-Trent, I’m near Portmeirion pottery. He does go out but usually comes in at night, or first thing in the morning.
I’ve always trained my cats to come when I whistle a short tune. I use it because the sound carries better than shouting.
I’m worried because he has a heart murmur. I’m just posting here on the off chance someone might know something.
Yowl! I have a metal cat hanging in the garden, I was going to put a small plant in his mouth but I forgot. Yellow and scared? Frightened? Amazed? He’s certainly got an expressive face. I don’t know how long he will last though, he’s going a little rusty inside. Maybe he’s meant to hold a candle or tea light.h
Was a birthday present and I’ve had him about five years so he’s lasted well. I think the photo came our clearly.
#band of sketchers today, again. This time with colour. Van Gogh meets Picasso (ish).
Abstract cat for today’s #bandofsketchers prompt, but I might colour this doodle in. I liked the idea of doodling a familiar thing with added pattern.
My cat is happy sitting in the garden in the sun. He was balanced on the fence but when he saw me he came over. I actually sat in the garden for about half an hour today. I tried to ignore the car alarm that repeatedly went off, and the traffic roaring up the hill. Its like a race track. I think drivers are trying to blow their exhausts off. Its crazy.
But I sat there, watching the clouds change and dissolve, blue and white, and the cat, happy, content, and me with him.
Cat drawn with a biro. Then I altered it in photodirector, and then added colours with a flood fill and a digital pen. I like building different layers. It’s fun being creative.
Snoring, sleeping
Dreaming of leaping
Warm and snuggled
After being cuddled
Breath slowing down
After a night on the town.
Raining outside
Came in to hide
Away from the storm
With a lick and a yawn!
The cat was washing so I drew him. I decided to add contours instead of shading it in completely black. This follows on from my previous line drawing of bar code.. Similar principle. I like drawing convoluted lines. This was with a black fine line pen. The lines give it a different shape to how the fur would lie.
You show your belly
Cheer me up
Dare I tickle
Your white chest.
Paws have claws
Eyes are half closed
I don’t trust you!
But your belly
Tempts!
Reaching, stretching, paws up, claws out. But he’s only saying hello.
Just look at those whiskers, able to twitch and feel. Helps with moving around in the dark. Used to check a space is wide enough to get through. Pushed forward when he’s interested in something, sniffing and smelling his food or a cat nip toy.
Claws ready to knead and pull, to show he loves you by ‘poddling’. A happy cat….
