Day 52 - Tom posing

It occurred to me that my cat Tom is a specialist in 2-3 minute life poses.  Last nite and today he flopped himself down near me where I had a good view of him and continually shifted as he cleaned himself up ...loves to lick his paws endlessly.  His hind legs are now squeaky clean.  This morning he flopped down on the rag rug in the kitchen and started all over again.

Heres the black and white version in my moleskine.  Done with a random inkpen and my red and black red is Zig Wink of Stella pens...pearlescent brush pens.  I glued down a piece of the paper moleskines come with over a sketch that was a bust.

When I came home I decided Tom needed a little color...and I added more of the red Zig Wink of Stella as well as the Black Zig Wink of Stella brush pen.   Colors are the usual...cerulean and cobalt, cad yellow, ochre, Quinacridone sienna and Daniel Smith Primatek Piemonite.  I think Piemonite is such a useful color...it can be purple or a brown. It's transparent, makes great shadows or brindle on a pit bull.  

Today's Dr. Sketchys AntiArt School.  Guess what I will be posting tomorrow??! 7:00 tonite at Chat Noir!! Come join the fun!!

DaY ELeVeN: Labs and Cats

My dogs love my cat and vice versus...not a problem when the dog is my lab Honey.  She and Tom sit out on the back deck companionably for hours staring at who knows what! ?? They certainly did not notice the coyote in the yard ten feet away from them a couple of months ago.  I think Honey keeps vigilance for the lab next door who she does not like because the lab poops in HER yard! My cat is a stray that my son found when he was a tiny kitten, and my dogs are from two of the local pounds - Aiken(Honey) and Augusta (Zoe).

Honey also loves her pillow inside and her dog potato chips aka raw hide chews.  She expects one whenever I leave...evidently she doesn't gain weight from them like she did the biscuits...she will steal biscuits and anything else bready off the counter...you would too if you had looked like a walking cadaver all bones and skin. We have fixed that now..she's sleek, fat, and happy in her forever home!!
