The Artists Cat

I thought Spatz was a "writers" cat because he's a polydactyl cat and Hemingway collected polydactyl cats.

Picture
See his giant paws with THUMBS!  I think he believes he can hold a paint brush.  He always likes to participate while I'm painting.

Picture
But he didn't like this painting of my other cat, Disco, which is in the works here.

Picture
Spatz thinks it's a good idea to help me paint in case I walk away and leave a glass of milk unattended

Picture
Hummm....."why did she put paint brushes in this glass?"

Picture
If Spatz sits still long enough he'll get his portrait drawn.  But he thinks he looks a little crazy in this charcoal sketch.

Picture
Ah, finally a photo of Spatz that I can paint!  I love his long white whiskers.

His whiskers are exceptionally long and his paws are exceptionally huge.  Spatz is an exceptional cat.

And here is the final product.
Acrylic paint
8" x 10" canvas board
Palette knife + brush technique

Sometimes I just want to use my pretty things.  The wine cooler bunny is so handsome.  Salad bowls in the shapes of leaves!  Brilliant!

Picture
Mes amis came over for dinner.  I'm not much of a cook, but they are good friends and eat my cooking anyway.  

Picture
In fact, they help in the kitchen.  Veronique did most of the cooking while I snapped pictures.

Picture
The pasta is full of cheese and looks delicious

Picture
We dig into the salad

Picture
Wine, salad, and bread with the pasta

Picture
Don't forget dessert.  Strawberries, blueberries and ice cream.  Yum!

Picture
Yummmmm...too bad we didn't have this with our dessert.
