Early morning prowl

Here's a painting I finished a couple of days ago.

Early morning prowl, mixed media, quarter sheet

I had great fun with this one. I started off with an ink drawing/sketch on watercolour paper to which I'd added random patches of gesso, then went in with watercolour, more ink, charcoal, water-soluble graphite, anything I could lay my hands on really!

Cat drawings - get well soon...

'Get well soon' for a cat lover maybe? ;-)

 Some new stuff in my Folksy store... Original ink drawings mounted on card stock. I sent a similar card to the vet team that did a great job patching up my feline model.

Happy me!

Ten fabulous prints from the first PrintPeople exchange have arrived here! They are just wonderful, made my day :-)

Stretchy kitty, finished

Couldn't resist just putting in a few highlights...

Now finished (I've varnished it and ordered a frame, no more fiddling!)

Acrylic on canvas, 8 by 20 inches

Stretchy cat

Here's a little look at something I've been working on over the past few days - yes, it's another piece of cat-inspired art! Not quite sure if I'm finished with this yet, but if I do anything more it'll only be a teeny tiny bit more!

This is acrylic on canvas, 8 by 20", done mostly with a palette knife, which definitely stops me fiddling and getting too detailed...

Well, the cat has had her stitches out and no longer needs to wear the dreaded cone collar... but I did have fun sketching her! I especially enjoyed doing some contour sketching... have trimmed a couple down and mounted them on card stock. I think a 'thank you' card to the team at the vet surgery may be in order! I might put a couple of these on my Folksy online shop too - 'get well soon' cards for cat lovers!

Not impressed!

My studio assistant (aka the cat) has not had a good week! She came in last week with a big cut on her tail so has been patched up by the vet, and is not impressed with her new headgear...

So of course I took the opportunity to do some contour sketches!

Poor kitty!
