New paintings and regular art updates.
Acrylic on canvas.
Painting is difficult with Parkinsons shakes. Details blur as the canvas waves (I was holding it), or my paintbrush won’t go in a straight line. It’s like being on a rattling train, or boat surging in a stormy sea.
I keep telling people I’m in permanent earthquake mode!
Don’t think I’ll get in the exhibition but I will keep trying.
30 year old self portrait with cat. I’ve not been well lately. So I haven’t posted here as much lately. I’m tired and aching, sleeping a lot and basically fed up. My arms, hands and feet ache, my knees ache in bed. I wish I had the energy of the young woman I was. I’m ageing and it annoys me!
It cheers me up to see it. It’s in the living room with me. X
I just found out it has a collaging section where I can upload multiple images then add details like text on the top. This is part way through the process but I’m not sure what else I want to do with it. My cat picture looks like a set of stamps….
No matter how small my cat always seeks bright sunshine. He was playing with his catnip mouse, rolling around, kicking out with his back legs. Happy to be playing and enjoying himself…
Cats are like that, taking the opportunity to get warm and enjoying themselves. Next.. Nap time. Xxxx
No, she sleeps
In a heap
Curl up and snooze
No time to lose
Carpe diem
Seize a snooze today!
Drawing a few cards for an art group I go to’s summer fair. I decided to use cats with patterns as a design. There is a cat in a hat, a sleepy sort of leopard style one and a couple sitting together.
I did quite a few last week of just cat heads and shoulders. It’s nice to just do a bit of relaxing illustration. The pens are a bit dried out so I’ve had to be selective with the colours. X
What did he hear?
Ears pricked, sitting up
Staring into the kitchen.
Another cat
Staring back
Looking at him, waiting
Eating the food
I put down for mine
Cheeky puss cat
Grinning!
Been to the vets
Now he’s back home,
Lying in the sun.
Anaesthetics worn off
Two teeth removed
No more pain
But antibiotics resume
The joy of recovery
Time to get well.
Hopefully healing
Happy again.
Puddy tat
Sleepy cat
What do you dream of?
Sugar mice
Things that are nice
Salmon and spice
He settled down
To rest and dream
Settled and calm.
Sleeping like a charm.
Dear kitty doesn’t often play
But today he did.
Leaping, prancing, dancing
Chancing a paw
Biting the green felt
He’s happily chasing
The toy flying, whirling
Exciting
Happy cat…
