New paintings and regular art updates.
They are both by the oil heater. Remarkable as they usually chase each other. The third is beside me curled up on the chair. Now ones moved, I have a little igloo bed she gets in to keep away the chill. I think I need one of those sausages that you use at the base of the door to stop drafts. My door is right onto the pavement with no porch, so any drafts sneak in. My ankles are permanently cold at this time of year. Anyway at least the cats are warm. X
Cat with claws, stretch, hook, ouch!
Puncture wounds in my knees
Black and white with a pink and black nose
Chin strap of black under half her chin
Chunky and wriggly, she loves nuzzling
Loud purr, quiet miaows
Little and friendly.
Sweet.
He was sleeping then he woke up! Quick 5 minute pen drawing of one of my cats. I was watching the portrait artist of the year and the only thing I could do was my cat. It turned out reasonably I think.
Some cats avoid rain, take shelter
One of mine must have otter DNA
Who needs a barometer when you have him.
Wet fur = rain
Cold fur = frost
Cold white fur = snow
Warm fur = sunny
Dusty fur = Saharan sand!
Yes he’s a weather forecaster
Though he doesn’t know it,
He’s just come in
Damp.
Purr-atchoo!
Caught mid sneeze
Made me laugh
What a wheeze!
She’s only little
Sneezed three times!
Fast as a flash
From my camera
Sweet, neat, cute.
Caught in a yawn, the cats are all in as my neighbours on both sides have both had bonfires. I’m rather annoyed. The closer neighbour had a very smoky, smelly fire, it’s meant the clothes on my line will need washing again. The one further down the road has a real blaze with black smoke billowing up from it at the moment.
I think they are burning an old tyre? I actually rang them up because there was nothing, then suddenly a whoosh of flame. I guess they poured some petrol on their fire? It frightened me and I was going to ring the fire brigade. I thought it was unattended but then I saw a shadowy figure through what’s left of my hedge after they hacked it back on their side!
So I’m stressed as I don’t want the cats to get hurt and the local hedgehogs may have been burnt 😢. Stay Safe X
What have you been working on?
Nose to the grindstone
Getting ready for a small stall
At a craft fair
First one in months
I’m shattered!
Sitting pretty,
Cat in a box
Just had his tea
Now he can sleep
I’ll let him rest
And get the best
Afternoon kip,
With some of the catnip!
Two on an armchair
One one the floor
By the heater
So three tiers actually.
The Third too far away to fit
My companions
Warmth seeking
I’m saving money
Radiators only on a few hours
But they are happy….
Must be cold today
He’s sat on My knee four times
He’s just come up again
So at least one knees warm!
Oh! he’s just jumped down
Cold knees!
