I have nothing to blog about, but figured I'd better at least check in.
Wendell's feet
(I love kitty feet, what can I say?)
(I love kitty feet, what can I say?)
Wendell's doing a lot better, thanks to a twice daily dose of this stuff:
Giving a cat meds in an eye dropper is actually pretty easy; way easier than trying to get them to swallow a pill! (If you've ever done this you know what I mean).
Working on some kid art for a commission of sorts, and its very very very different than what I usually do. I'm making big shapey pictures with acrylics on canvas. I feel very Matisse or someone, although nowhere in that league, of course.
A new architectural rendering job just came in, and its a lot of bricks. A LOT. Like, a couple of big brick walls and a sign. But I like bricks, bring it on!
I made a trip to the art store and bought some Stonehenge paper and some Sabertooth sanded pastel paper. I haven't used Stonehenge, ever (and I call myself a colored pencil artist!), and only used the sanded stuff for pastels. After that stint with the mylar, I was really craving some serious TOOTH. I'll post whatever I do with it. I'm thinking chocolates, since I have a lot of brown pencils and I know the sanded paper will really eat them up. Not sure what I'll do with the Stonehenge.
I'm also trying to fight off some kind of cold or malaise, you know the kind. So I'm kinda slow.
I'll try to have something more interesting to talk about or show next time, promise!
For now, its off to paint a doggie juggling milk bones...

I'm glad Wendell is holding his own!
I hope he's not doing that tongue-flicky thing with his medicine, where they manage to NOT keep it in their mouths. I recall wearing pink slime more than once!
Good luck with the bricks!
What? Kitty feet boring? NEVER! Ah, Paula, how are you? I am sorry you are under the weather, everyone here in Florida is fighting it too, with the roller coaster temps, up, then down, up, then down. I'm tired of it. Going up to a woo hoo 60 today, and by the weekend, near 80's. But anyway... Yes, I know that feeling. On the sandpaper tooth I would use something like the Pan Pastels... this way your precious pencils will stay intact. I could not bear to have them taken down to nubs from that nasty paper. I don't mind with pastels though ;)
Have a great day and it's almost spring, feel better!
Stonehenge has a lot of tooth, but I think it is so over rated. There are a lot of nicer watercolour papers out there that act the same or better. I know a lot of people use it with CPs, so I guess I'm the odd one :p
Glad to hear Wendell is on the mend, Paula. Know what you mean about cats and pills - you hide one in their food (thinking you're being clever) and they eat all around it and leave it in the dish! Good luck with the new supports, you will need that big stash of pencils.
P.S. Your posts are never boring!
