Still painting Sparta Puss, it’s taking a while but it’s not something to be rushed. Using Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics and a fan brush I highlighted the areas of lighter tones on her fur in Titanium White (left); with a flat brush I painted details on the tulip leaves and added colour to the curtainsContinue reading “Cat Among The Tulips: 5.”

Continuing painting a portrait of my tortoiseshell cat, Sparta Puss.
Cat Among The Tulips: 3
A bit more work on my painting of Sparta Puss with tulips today, doing the white areas and starting on the facial features, which I did freehand with a small brush and white paint. It’s not a bad likeness, her eyes are a bit close together but that’s easily corrected. I began the details onContinue reading “Cat Among The Tulips: 3”

A short film of artist Rosie Scribblah doing a painting of her feisty niece with an appearance of Sparta Puss the cat.
Chubby Foxes.
Husb and I had a few days away, staying with friends on the South Coast – that’s East Sussex, not Barrybados LOL 😀 Their garden was visited several times a day by two of the chubbiest foxes I’ve ever seen. Big, fluffy and ginger, I thought they were odd-looking corgis when I saw them first.Continue reading “Chubby Foxes.”

It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a drawing from my sketch archives, I guess about 7 or 8 years ago. I had a very comfy Ikea Poang chair at the time but Sparta Puss liked it as much as I did. Guess who won out on this particular evening? I drew into my sketchbook withContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 18”
