Cats, Birds and a Landscape

Introducing our new little calico kitten, Princess Cutie Pye.

And our little boy, Opie Darling III.

 You can see the watercolor painting done from this sketch

on my other blog here.

We had quite an exciting weekend here!

You can read about it on my web-log.

There was not much time to draw,

so I did this little three minute gesture sketch.

Again, some quick gesture sketches from snapshots of my current obsession.

Ok, ok, here's some relief from the cats.

I might even try a painting of this one some day!

It's been wonderfully crazy here with all of the kitten excitement,

so I quickly sketched these bird carvings that we have. 

The wren carving and the swan above,

were moved one quarter turn every two minutes.

I hope you are all having as fabulous of a summer as I am!!

Don't forget to write me
and keep your creative juices flowing!

Hugs,

Anybody who doesn't care for cats (if that is possible) can probably skip reading the next few posts. I'm currently catatonic over my kittens. I can't seem to be interested in anything else. So you can expect LOTS more drawings and paintings of little kitties here this summer. You have to do what you love, right?

This is Opie. OMG, he is precious and so photogenic!

of caressing the lion."  ~ Fernand Mery 

Ginger Kitten
#2 - 5.5 x 7.5", watercolor on Yupo paper, matted to 8 x 10"

Most cats want to turn away when the flash goes off, but not this little fur ball! Wow, did I luck out or what, with this adorable new model in the house!

"If we treated everyone we meet

with the same affection we bestow upon our favorite cat,

they, too, would purr."  ~ Martin Buxbaum 

This was done in my sketchbook on Sunday.

I just love this pose. Can you tell?

I've got big news happening here

with the kittens this weekend!

I'll be

"letting the cat out of the bag"

 with new kitty photos and more art on

my other blog.

As always, I love hearing from you!

Hugs and Purrs,

P.S. Which  do you like the best, so far, #1 or #2?
