This is the painting I posted last week titled Time Tested. I didn’t realize I had taken photos of it in progress or I would have posted this first. Oops!

I used to do a series called On the Easel, and I showed progress shots of a new painting just about every week. I fell out of doing that, but I’m thinking I should bring it back. I’m always looking for something to blog about. The hardest part for me is remembering to pick up the camera or phone while I’m working. Usually my hands are completely covered in paint, so I don’t like to stop, and clean up every few minutes. It interrupts the flow, and I tend to work very fast. I’ll try, tho..it might be fun, at least every once in a while. 

In case you’re wondering, the kitties are home, and doing fine. They are even more hyper than usual, and keeping them quiet for the next 2 to 3 days is going to be tough. I think, at best, I can keep them away from Sweet Pea, but keep them quiet? I highly doubt it. So far, all they’ve wanted to do is run around, and wrestle, as if nothing happened. Maude just had Harold around the neck, choking him so hard he started coughing..I had to go separate them. haha

I have them up here in my office, but it’s a constant “dodge Mom and run FAST” every time I try to open the door..they want out, bad!! Other than feeling cooped up already, they seem like nothing ever happened. The only weird difference is the noise Harold keeps making..it’s like a constant little mrrrrow noise. He doesn’t seem in pain or anything..maybe it’s the meds making him more vocal than usual? Or maybe he has lots of stories he’s trying to tell me of his adventure to the vet for the first time?
