Cat cards

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

At writers group.

Well you need a cuppa.

Writers group today, prompt was Truth.

We all had different takes on this. Fiction and non fiction. My truth was about symptoms and how they affect my life. One was about getting away from domestic violence. Another was a funny story about three young women competing against each other. It had a good twist at the end.

Eight of us enjoyed two hours of friendly discussion and support. Looking at styles of prose. Non of us want to be arrogant or egotistical, we just want to improve our craft. We may be doing this for fun. But it’s stimulating and interesting.

Plus tea and biscuits helps.

Brown and green paint

Look what I found rooting around in a carrier bag, two large tubes of brown and green paint that were needed for the treetrunks we have made for the play.

Not a bad  find at 2.30am last night. I’ve got so much art equipment and supplies that I have accrued over several years. I really need to try and sort it all out.

It’s a bad trait sometimes, I’m like a kid in a sweetie shop, I can’t resist!

I’ve decided to do more to this, I didn’t like the green on it and have tried to make it a bit more like graffiti. I want to tidy up around the edges.. I’m also working on a cat watching goldfish. I did a painting of that idea years ago and the new cat picture has a similar theme… At least I’ve got into painting again..
