#Caturday – Quickly Drawn Cats

It’s #Caturday Saturday and here are some very quick sketches I did a while back of a cat mostly moving, which is rare! I drew speedily to try and capture the cats in action rather than details.

#Caturday Saturday …

Double Trouble for #Caturday. A collage I did of our new-ish rescue kitty, William Chatnoir (Bill for short). Now she’s settled in, got her paws under the table, she’s a little troublemaker. Like the rest of them! Wouldn’t be without her though xxx

One, Two, Three ……

The show is in Orchard Street Gallery which is part of HQ Urban Kitchen on Swansea’s Orchard Street and runs through to the end of January. The other venues showing my work are Cinema&Co.ffee and GS Artists.

A Bit More Kitty Fun.

I had some fun with Photoshop yesterday, for #Caturday, but I didn’t want to stop so after I produced the greyscale image I whacked it through a Gradient Map to get this hot version. And today I made a pear and chocolate upside-down sponge cake for Sunday Tea. Husb and I had it hot withContinue reading “A Bit More Kitty Fun.”
