Why tiptoeing? Because it feels slow and careful at this stage, like I am just feeling my way along, trying to be as careful as possible.
First up, Sawtooth, the commissioned oil painting.
Second, rebuild the Kaweah Post Office, also a commissioned oil painting.
Third, plant some grasses. (Oil paint grasses, not fescue or bermuda or dichondra or Kentucky bluegrass or. . .) There was more progress made, but the phone call came that it was time to rescue Piper from the vet, where he got civilized this week. $192. No such thing as a free cat. (Samson cost $132 – he was in better shape to start with.)

interesting to see how you work…
Thank you, Janet! Do you work alla prima or in layers?
As I’ve mentioned before, it’s fun to see these paintings in various stages!
And thank you for taking Piper in for his “snip snip” procedure. This is so important, especially for any cats that are outside (mine are 100% indoor and yet I’ve always had them neutered). There are already too many pets without fur-ever homes–why add more?? Plus, he’ll be healthier and happier for it. Or for lack of it, as the case may be. 🙂
Sharon, he’s a little irritated at me right now because I have to put medicine in his ears twice a day for 2 weeks. Poor little guy doesn’t understand why his world got so disorganized and uncomfortable.
Oh, applying medicine to a cat (either internally or externally) is a real challenge. Just keep reassuring that, like the urologist said to the kidney stone patient, “This, too, shall pass!”
