On Animal Wednesday Eve Henry came outside on the patio with me to watch me paint the drawings I did that afternoon at Jalisco's.
He had a lot of thoughts on the subject as he sat there observing what I was doing...
He kept flicking his long cat tail into my paints... I finally had to move them out of his way; but maybe just maybe he was telling me he wanted to paint too using his tail. You think?
After drawing at Jalisco's on Tuesday lunch hour I had some extra time so I walked downtown to the town square where I watched little kids climbing on rocks and drew this bike and hat taped to a tree.
Some of you have asked about the paints I use. These are the Translucent paints:
And these are the tube paints:
Henry wanted to use the tube paints with his tail.
We are inviting you to make up your own stories to go with the paintings and leave them in the comment section on my blog!
And we join together wishing you a Happy Animal Wednesday!

Henry probably thought you just needed some extra color in one of your paintings. He has such attitude even when he is just lying there watching you. Fun to see your J people.
ReplyDeleteYes, Lisa, he did. He has such input that I find his ideas so helpful.
DeleteBut sometime his tail swagger can be rather daunting.
Glad you enjoy the J people!
3 ladies in J's and the bike, story.
ReplyDeleteMiddle Lady: "Anyway, I'm avoiding Animal Wednesday this year -"
Blue Lady: "Why?"
Middle Lady: "Last year, to celebrate, I gave Mitzi the poodle two dishes of her favourite dinner..."
Other Lady: "And?"
Middle Lady: "And? And? ... she starved half to death trying to make her mind which to eat first"
Blue Lady: "What happened?"
Middle Lady: "She was so hungry that she put on my hat and cycled down to Jalisco's for a hot dog!"
Blue Lady: I always knew that poodle had CYCLE-LOGICAL proplems!!"
Dear John, I knew you would not disappoint!!!!
DeleteLove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Love your work and the story! Great job as always! Bought myself some Bienfang water color pens having fun experimenting! Takes some time getting use to them!
ReplyDeleteRosemary, thanks...and do let me know how you do with the Beinfang watercolor pens. Mine still sit in their box. I struggled with them and then gave up. If you learn a trick to making them as easy as paint let me know. I'll try again.
DeleteMy cat must want to paint also. He wants to drink my brush-cleaning water, too. That's why he's called Picasso Cat around here.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many paintings of your lunches that I couldn't possible come up with stories for them. I just enjoy seeing what you see.
Seems our cats are both talented artists Katiejane. Love your nickname for yours! Glad you are enjoying my J people!
DeleteThat Cat has a TUDE.. Attitude.. lol. More get sketches with and without colors. Altho I am partial to the colored ones they are all great. Those colors in your paint pallet are wonderful..Makes you want to dip into them and splash some color around which you do beautifully. :))
ReplyDeleteThanks Cris...you and Henry can help me anytime with the color choices!
Deleteoops.. more GREAT sketches.. not get... lol

What a fun post, I love Henry, he is a real stand up little guy. I have Finley and he is a helper also. He is been sticking his head in holes where I have had to take winter damages plants...He loves the Tulips so much that he has to carry them in his mouth...Yikes!!! Love your art, it makes me smile!!! Love, mary
ReplyDeleteMary how fun for you to have a cat who likes to garden with you! Henry V is anything but a "little guy"!He's a huge cat! With a swift swing on his tail! Glad you enjoyed the post today!
ReplyDeleteGreat little helper you have there. He is probably choosing the colours for you with his tail. Always love your real life drawings and love when you colour them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

VonnyK...thanks for pointing that out, I will be more observant next time and use the colors that Henry picks out for me I promise!
DeleteLynn, That Henry is something, I don't think Henry wants to paint, he looks mad and I think he wants you to stop painting and pay attention to him! As he is the KING. Lovely paintings by the way. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Annie, I am sure you are right...and I did, eventually, I promise.
DeleteHenry does NOT lack for attention. He makes sure he gets plenty! And so do we. ;-)))
