I’m using a Chinese solid ink with a caligraphy brush instead of the liquid Higgins ink I’ve been usung for months. The solid ink has a different consistancy and is easier to direct with water, I can control the contrast a lot better with it. Meow.

COSTA RICA! Spring break, arrived late night. So much sun!

Painted en plein aire with the doors open to the cold wet night, this was entered in the Sangres Art Guild Alla Prima Westcliffe competition in September 2019. It was painted as I was hunkered down in my car with the door open. Plein aire is not my favorite way to paint a nocturne. It can be a real challenge, not that I’m not up for challenges. It’s a skill to be acquired through practice, lots of practice

Perched on a sunny rail, this cat sees all. And all’s well. Meow.

He turns on a dime.
Meow.

Meow.

Jump up. Meow.

Hearts congregate in large numbers, murders these groups are called.

Hmmmmm. Meow.

Winter rolls in. Hearts roost in leafless trees in the late-light early morning, winds 15-17mph out of the northeast. Hardship forms a bond.

Hearts travel together while migrating, safety in numbers, ya know.

Hearts fly high and in a Vee as they wing northward to the warm summer waters.

This cone is a lot larger and harder that most of the ponderosa cones I’ve painted. We found it in Southern California. I wonder if I identified it correctly although in searching for visual info on it, it most likely resembles the ponderosas. I may have to re-title it someday if I find it’s a different species.

That cat can jump! He’s just 2 years or so and he shoots straight up when he’s chasing something. I love him because he makes me laugh
