In the crisp late winter air the hearts gather on the fence line.

Buck the Cat descends the snowy steps. Cold paws.

Cat stroll.

Hearts head home after spending the day in the valley. They’ll fly back tomorrow.

So much sleep to accomplish in 24 hours, it’s not easy.

Cozy fur coat for a snug nap.

Cat looking up, at what?


I-87 North is the road to Canada. I-87 South is the road to New York City. It’s mid-autumn in Upstate New York and mornings are frosty clean crisp. The daylight filters through the deciduous evergreen mix of forest, atmosphere thickening as the layer of mountains recedes.

Working with gouache, appreciating its opaqueness and ability to layer.

Still loving gouache, the flatness of the colors.

Cat in a perch, master of all he surveys.

Cats must be tidy. Lick. Meow.

Meow. Doze.

These North American natives are commonly called Pumpkinseeds because of the black flap at the edge of their gills.Lepomis gibbosus is included in the common sunfish family (Centrarchidae). They can grow quite large for a smallish fish (i.e. over 9″) but most that I’ve seen are from 4-6″. They’re the most colorful fish that is found in a warm water lake or pond. Bass and crappie are some of their fishy relatives.
