Inspired by artist K. Barr,
who our daughter commissioned to paint a wood-slice Christmas ornament featuring Bobi the Bad, I've been on a mission to capture in drawing, paint, or color pencil the cat I actually do love: our old ginger tom, Tommy, The Man (RIP).
She's painting that awful Tom cat! She's crazier than I thought!
(Prince, at the door, laughs at the drama queen, aka Bobi the Bad)
Bobi sat on my gouache painting while it was still wet,
and proceeded to drink the dirty water I'd rinsed paint brushes in. Bad, Bobi, bad for you!
The Man of the House,
aka my excellent husband, sliced a few wood circles for me last week, and I've been trying to resurrect my lifelong love of painting, but even with instruction books I just never seem to get it right. He makes it all look so easy.
So does she:

I'm not giving up just yet...
but my crude efforts with paint and pencil have me thinking I should sew cute stuffed cat toys instead.
Like these sheep, but cats:
