Cat Among The Tulips: 1.

I have had a nasty cold the past few days and I wanted to do something to occupy myself that was fun so I decided to paint Sparta Puss from a photo where she’s posing in front of some beautiful tulips. I started with the canvas I recently covered in an opaque Magenta ground (here).Continue reading “Cat Among The Tulips: 1.”

Prepping in Pink

I’m starting a new painting so the first thing to do is to prepare it by getting rid of the intimidating white that’s on a fresh new canvas. During the Covid19 lockdown, which went on for nearly 2 years, I took up painting after a break of about 4 decades – I hadn’t painted sinceContinue reading “Prepping in Pink”

A Feisty Niece, a Furry Cat and a Film.

#Caturday Archives 16

It’s #Caturday Saturday once again and here’s a drawing from ages ago when I was still using Faber Castell Pitt drawing pens. I don’t really know why I stopped, I generally use ballpoint pen now in my sketchbooks.

Revisiting

I’ve been browsing through my files, looking at past work as I do from time to time. It’s good to get a bit of distance and take a second look at things, especially those I wasn’t too fond of first time round. I cut some small vinyl blocks, using random marks, about 4 years agoContinue reading “Revisiting”
