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

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

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.

I really like this, my friend Julie painted this sign for part of the scenery for the play we are doing in May. It definitely gives a feeling of rusty metal, although it’s just painted in acrylics on a piece of cardboard. She’s definitely given it a spooky feel.

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!

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…

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..

Making fire with spirals, snaking up onto the sky. Green and orange for definition. Locking up in circles and curves of acrylic on canvas, part of a work in progress.
I decided to create abstraction that could be flames or fronds. Happy to play with paint.
