This cat is truly a character, so it’s quite a good thing that she sleeps as much as she does….we’d need a butler to fulfill all the whims! But thankfully I get a break while she snoozes. This is her on her favourite blanket on the back of the couch. When it’s really quiet, I can hear her snore!

Pouncer
The weather warmed upn for a few days and Her Highness waas out playing “Jungle Cat
” and other games. It’s incredible how evolution has prepared these animals to hunt; like how these stripes blend with the grass, and how the face shape enhances her razor vision. Not usre of the value of the extravagance of tail….or how about that paunch?! I’m glad though that she has a good life, and wish the same were true for all animals.
Talking Possum
This cat has lost her marbles lately. After wakening me from deep sleeps last night because she figured she wanted to be out rather than in, she then spent the day imposing her will upon me as well! When I try to ignore her, this beseeching look along with loud plaintive wails, soon have me hustling to do her bidding. Not sure when she stopped being my cat and I started being her bell hop.

Let Me In!!
The weather has warmed up, so this pesky cat is in & out 14 times a day. If I ignore her, this is the sight at the kitchen window. Who can evade the intensity of that glare!?
I count my blessings though because it could be worse; my sister had a cat once who would jump straight up in the air and hit the doorbell when she wanted in. That was alright except that she mostly did it around 3 in the morning! At 3 a.m. this one is a snug in bed. Like I say, it could be worse.

Possum Patrol
Here’s this goofy cat, pretending she’s a valuable member of home security around here. Note the stalking lioness posture and the intensity of purpose. Funny thing is that once the temp goes below zero she seems to think she can conduct her surveillance from the comfort of the kitchen window.

Sitting Pretty
It was a “dog day” today. Nothing but a dog would do. So I did another portrait of my good friend Stu. The day I met him, he was out & about with his person, Brenda, and there were no livestock around. We wanted him to do his border collie “thing” and look all intense. All he could think to do was look pretty. There was obviously no work to do! So this is Stu with no horses to supervise or cattle to herd…..having a day off.

Dog Portrait -Drawing Stage
So amid chaos of various kinds in the family, I managed to get a drawing done for a commissioned dog portrait. 10 X 14″ on 300 lb Fabriano. Stay tuned.
Over the Moon Kitty
Last night this crazy cat came in and sprawled on the rug at my feet in what I call her “Aren’t I pretty?” pose. She looks like she’s flying, complete with a kink in her tail. So I did a pen & ink sketch of her right then, and took a photo. Today I re-did the sketch on watercolour paper and made her jump over the moon. That’s the great thing about being an artist…you can even make your cat do things she has no intention of doing! SOLD

Mad Possum
Can you see that p.o’d look in her eyes, and the one cocked ear? She was camped out on top of the barbecue, one of her favourite roosts, and the magpies proceeded to harass her. It’s on-going around here, and so far the magpies win, hands down….or should I say wing tips down?

The Varmint
It’s time you had the full benefit of the stare that I get on a regular basis around here. Possum sends her best wishes & so do I.
