More pages from my sketchbook and news of a new book....

Properly speaking these are more worked up as paintings....

Ginge and Dennis [watercolour]

Felicity, Biddi and Tabitha.[watercolour]

This was the last time we had kittens, we got Felicity and Biddi for our son [from the shelter of course] and ended up with Felix [a ginger boy] who had been thrown out of a car.  Tabitha and Dennis  belonged next door but reckoned they owned us too.  
Their stories will appear in '100 years of cat tales, 365 stories of cats' on which I am working.  There'll be a story for every day of the year and pen and ink illustrations throughout.  I'll be posting some samples.

This one is in coloured pens and is the picture of a visitor we had until her rightful home was discovered, when she was found to be named Cindy; but for me she was always Nefertiti....

Next, Flossie, another neighbour's cat - this one is painted onto paper I've made.

and finally in this offering, some studies of Siameses washing....

Pages from my sketchbook [and a few photos]

I thought I'd devote this post to a few pages from my sketchbook.

I love the silly positions cats get into when they're washing...

Kitties at play...

And below, a selection of cats sprawling on their backs being most unnecessary....

 

more silly washing positions!

I finished crocheting Worrals' new jacket in time for the weather to improve, but there were a few chilly nights when she was glad of it!

She loves being with her brother and here they're holding paws, I couldn't resist... below you'll see she has as big an obsession with his lavender toes as I do, as she's washing them for him.

And Merlin also just adores his big brother Jasper... not so much bigger really any more!
