Buck the Cat has a stern stare. But he’s just a pussycat.

Buck the Cat soaks in the summer sun.

Rock Bass are warm water fish, This one was caught and released in Lake Adirondack in upstate New York. Pastels are a really good media when depicting the vibrant nuances of shiny, scaly fish, much easier for me to control than watercolor.

It’s summer and the Sun Fish dart about the warm shallows just off shore. There are several varieties.This one is a ‘Pumpkin Seed”, named so because of the distinctive red/orange ‘ear’ on its gill.

This is the first painting in The Daily Cat Series on which I used a dip pen with India ink. Previously I’ve always used a brush, usually a calligraphy brush. That makes this Cat a drawing. The pen is a bit more tedious and I’m rusty with the technique. I plan to continue using the pen with the goal of becoming more fluid and intuitive. Do you like this new look for The Daily Cat? Tell me about it.

Cat’s on a roll. Meow.
