12″X12″ Oil on canvas I delivered this commission a few days ago but forgot to take a final photo before I let it go. I went over tonight and took a picture, not a very good reproduction because I had to adjust for the tungsten light. They say th… [...] 7″X5″ Pen on paper “A portrait is a picture in which there is just a tiny little something not quite right about the mouth. (John Singer Sargent)” (or [...] 5″X7″ Oil on board Time to play with some texture. I really enjoyed this one, getting the fuzzy softness of her fur, it almost looks like pastel doesn’t it? This was originally a watercolour I did about a year ago, the light seems very April somehow. Klein, my notoriously grumpy cat, was sitting by the door, soaking [...] 7″X5″Pencil on paper I hadn’t been in my sister’s house for five minutes when her elderly cat made herself comfortable on my lap. She was a little irritated by by inattention to the important task of stroking her, but she put up with me anyway. This was actually quite gratifying as my famously grumpy cat, Klein, doesn’t [...] 9″X7″ Charcoal, chalk and sepia on grey paper There was time when I used this combination a lot. I do find it very messy and it is difficult to copy because you can’t just put it facedown on a scanner. However, I am determined to use more different kinds of media here and this was always [...] 5.5″X3.5″ Pen on paper This is my chair really, but we agree to disagree on this point. Well I missed a day, more for lack of computer (and scanner) access than anything. I think that it will be mostly Mondays and Wednesdays that I will be taking off though, because they are the most difficult for me. I [...] 7″X9″ Graphite on paper Does anyone remember that movie? She is very uncooperative, won’t sit still for five minutes. Still without a computer so I thought I would take the easy route and post something that can easily be scanned on J’s laser scanner (b&w only). Also I spent most of the day agonizing about buying a new [...] 6.5″X4″ Pen on paper My famously grumpy cat. The house is in disarray while we prepare all the new storm windows for fitting. The glass is all cut and wrapped in paper. As it is unwrapped in preparation for glazing, the paper is left lying around, in this case on her favourite couch. She can’t decide whether [...] 5″X7″ WC pencil on paper This is one of her favourite spots, in a sunbeam, by the french doors. There is a screen on the door which isn’t apparent here so she is protected from the great scary outdoors, and the floor is about three feet off the ground. There must once have been a porch there. [...] 9″X12″ Marker on paper As I was groping around for a photo to paint from today something inside me rebelled, I am so sick of painting from photographs. So today I went and drew the cat again. She won’t let me get away with much and doesn’t stay still for more than a couple of minutes [...] |
