Sunday, Feb. 8, and today (feb. 10)


On Sunday I once again went to paint in the backyard, the finished product is shown above... I suppose it's not the best picture. I have yet to figure out how to document my art with good quality at home... everything is always crappier at home for some reason... but maybe i just have a crappy camera, it tends to make things too pixellated/fuzzy.

The weather is getting warmer now, so I believe I'll venture outside the backyard soon. I'll try to find some actually interesting earth areas.
Also because it's getting warm, I've been going for more walks. and because the snow is melting, all kinds of crazy stuff is turning up! This is the best time of the year for me. I should have been prepared for it, but I am not. I should have had 10 canvases prepped for spontaneous trips to paint my exciting new finds, but I have only 1 to spare at the moment. So when I went for a walk today, I found a really awesome cat but did not paint it. There was also a rabbit I found yesterday, and did not paint it either (maybe next week). But I did go back to take pictures of the cool cat, which you can see below:


(s)he appears to have been sliced in half on a weird diagonal, and it looks like a very clean slice too. I sketched the cat a bit too.. not sure if I'll go back to paint it from life yet. It might be gone later, it's in a rather suburban area where people like to go for walks, so someone might think it's not a pleasant thing to see and get rid of it... or recognize the cat as their own and take it away... who knows.
such a weird cat...
