Been away today, across the border in England and just got back. It was a long day. The cats were pleased to see us and Ming the Merciless snuggled down on the stool next to my feet, in pink slippers and purple socks. My feet, that is, not Ming. It’s nice to go visiting butContinue reading “Cat At The End Of A Long Day”

Thunder And Rodents
Just back from an evening Open Access session at Swansea Print Workshop where I did the third in a series of impressionistic monotype landscapes based on the residency I did in Pakistan earlier this year. This is one of a sequence I drew in a thunderstorm. Had a tough day. Sparta Puss the evil-kitty-from-hell, terrorisedContinue reading “Thunder And Rodents”
A lovely blog reposted ‘The Simple History of Mario’
This is a truly lovely blog, very inspiring The Simple History of Mario.
One Eyed Ming
This is Ming the Merciless, our one eyed rescue kitteh. We love her very much. She often poses for me when I cannot be bothered to get up from my comfy chair on a grey, wet, miserable evening. Like now. It’s that dense grey drizzle that so often puts the dampener on Welsh summers. ButContinue reading “One Eyed Ming”
Jamming And A Hot Cat
It’s probably been the hottest day of the year so far, in the upper 20sC and the cat is sleeping on a fleecy blanket on top of the hot water boiler! And she wears a fur coat! I ended up in the kitchen for hours making jam. There’s been a glut of blackcurrants on theContinue reading “Jamming And A Hot Cat”
Feline Muse
Had another long day behind a computer and ended up sitting in front of the telly quite late with a cat sleeping on my lap. I haven’t done any drawing so far today so the cat will have to be my model. She likes posing. I have used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8, withContinue reading “Feline Muse”
Tiny Temper
Heard a lot of noise on the roof around 6pm. Sparta Puss was facing off a very large and angry seagull. Husb and I tried to persuade the cat to come down but she was having none of it, so we left them to it. A few minutes later she came storming into the houseContinue reading “Tiny Temper”
Messi Moggy
My first blog post in Pakistan just had to be a kitteh. This is Messi who is named after Lionel Messi, the Argentinian footballer who plays for Barcelona. Messi lives in the house where I’m staying. There is also a printmaking studio with accommodation attached for the artists in residence. Yesterday was spent recovering fromContinue reading “Messi Moggy”
Monkey Magic
Greetings trained apes. Sparta Puss here. I am now digitised. The idiot she-monkey usually scribbles into a book with sticks with dirt in them but now she’s managed to smear the dirt into the pooter box! It’s Monkey Magic! (One for the baby boomers 😀 ) She says the smeared dirt looks like me. She’sContinue reading “Monkey Magic”
After da Vinci, with a cat
Another of my practice pieces copying Renaissance drawings. This time a little sketch by da Vinci of a small child playing with a cat. The original is very rough and sketchy, very lively. I guess it had to be that way because a cat and small child are not going to stay still for moreContinue reading “After da Vinci, with a cat”
