Helping at the easel

A friend of mine has been coming to paint her

large work in my studio. This is fun for me to have

company while I work! But it is more fun for Lucy

who is getting lap time. I'd call my friend an art

multi-tasker!

VERY smart cat!

I had to post this. Isn't it funny? My cat Lucy is aligning herself

with my new arrangement of animals for my students to draw.

Previously, they were all mixed in with the other still life stuff.

Only now, with Lucy there, I can't really call it still life now can I?

What will the new year hold?

What lies ahead? Lucy is looking

down the road to see. She tells me

there is expansion of happiness

for all my friends and family.

And for her too, of course!

Happy New Year!

The Artist's Cat

Yeah! I have my photo operation back in action!

Thank you to Chandan in New Delhi for his Dell

assistance !

Here's my girl posing in front of my impressive

art book library. If you look closely (which you

can by clicking on the image) you'll see my name

on the spine of one of the books.

This painting is 11" x 14", an oil painting. It is framed

in a simple black frame and is $400 plus s&h.

Cat painting nearly done!

Several posts back, I showed you the sketch on

canvas for this painting. Since then I worked on

it at a demonstration I gave a few weeks ago.

She needs a bit more tweaking with whiskers

added and some attention to the pillow, but then

that is it! What shall I call it? "Here's looking

at you"?!

My next portrait!

Here she is yet again! Miss Lucy posing for animal

crackers (as my Dad used to say!). I am considering

doing a calendar for next year with paintings of

Lucy. So here is the beginning of this one...she

is next to an embroidered pillow, in case you are

wondering.

How about commenting for me to let me know

if you think a Lucy calendar is a good idea. Doesn't

everyone love cats (haha!).
