Kitty looking over shoulder

Another kitty I started and had on “standby” until I was inspired to finish it.

Ghost kitty

This kitty is another one from my pile of “starts” that I have for inspiration. It started with a gesso kitty on black paper. I like this kitty project because I can use it to experiment.

On another note, my mom is having good days and bad. She is forgetting a lot of stuff. Dementia is both hard on the patient and the family. They make stuff up or live in a fantasy world and confuse basic things like when they spoke to you. I am just glad she is in a safe place.

Bumble Kitty

Another mixed media kitty. I made a bunch of “starts” so I can just randomly pull from a pile and do what ever comes to my head.

Orange kitty

Much ado about nothing

This evening our village sponsored a presentation of Shakespeare’s ” Much Ado About Nothing” down by the bay.

Kitty enjoyed the show.

Black paper kitty

This kitty was done on black paper.

Stretch kitty and last night’s sketches

Another kitty done with recycled materials….

Our sketch club went to a small nature area last night. It’s a town park that is geared toward wildlife. Lots of wild flowers.

Mixed media Gesso Kitty

This kitty is partially created with recycled paper that I keep in my studio. The recycled paper can be print outs, magazines, old catalogs, junk mail, etc. I can’t fix the planet by myself but I do what I can. The kitty herself is a “recycled” image from a kitty I doodled in one of my sketchbooks.
