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.”
#Caturday Archives 18
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”
#Caturday Archives 17
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a blast from the past, Sparta Puss back in 2016. She has a range of expressions but this sulky, slightly annoyed one is a favourite of hers.
#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. I was chilling one evening with Sparta Puss stretched out on my lap, wearing some snazzy leggingsContinue reading “#Caturday Archives 16”
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”
#Caturday – Black and White.
It’s #Caturday / Saturday again and here’s the little fluffy tyrant, Sparta Puss, photographed, scanned, uploaded into Adobe Photoshop and put through the Threshold adjustment to turn her into a stark black and white image. There’s a reason I was doing this – more to come on that …..
#Caturday – Another Filter.
It’s #Caturday / Saturday again and here’s a photo of a much younger Sparta Puss that I’ve put through Adobe Photoshop’s Palette Knife filter. She’s always been a cutie.
#Caturday – Two Little Kitties
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a picture from nine years ago, before Sparta Puss became an only cat. The little fluff ball on the right is the late, great Little Ming, a one-eyed Naughty Tortie rescue cat with heaps of Tortitude. Ming died about 4 years ago, at a ripe old age. I’ve putContinue reading “#Caturday – Two Little Kitties”
#Caturday – A Happy Accident.
It’s Saturday #Caturday again! Sparta Puss jumped onto the table opposite me the other day and sat in front of a vase of tulips I treated myself to. They’re in that falling-over stage and when she sat down, she was framed beautifully by their purple flowers in front of olive green curtains. A happy accident.Continue reading “#Caturday – A Happy Accident.”
