🐈 GOOD KITTY, BAD KITTY. Just completed the last lesson of Unit 2 of Tracy Verdugo’s “Abstract Mojo” the other day. This Lesson is called Good Jaguar, Bad Jaguar in that we create an abstract painting with something familiar from our personal surroundings. Whilst Tracy chose a hand carved Guatemalan jaguar, I went for a kitty inspired by my collection of Hello Kitty but without the customary ribbon! 🐈‍⬛

❤️ GONNA MISS HIM. BF is off next Tuesday for about a week photographing for his work plus some skiing! I on the other hand am staying put because there is quite a lot of work to do in the house and I’m not too keen about snow. He will be missed! And here comes a kawaii painting I made for us to make me feel better: a sumie ink drawing combined with watercolors! 💕

🐱 WHEN PIGGY TURNED KITTY. Another feline character! This time though, the painting was originally intended to be a pig, believe it or not. It didn’t work out as planned unfortunately as I ended up not liking the look of what I had painted and changed it into a cat! 💕

🌙 EVENING GLOW. Little One is back again! Sharing with you another fun mixed media painting I made whilst following another of Juliette Crane’s fun painting class. This time, I created a night theme in which Little One is in her garden enjoying the full moon! How sweet is that 💖

🐈‍⬛ BLACK CAT ON BLACK. Inspired by another art student's painting, I made my own version. Negative space was created on black paper to end up with a black cat! Colored charcoal by Cretacolor worked so well for this. Isn't my little black kitty so adorable? 🖤

🍰 CAKES AND ALE. Following Tracy Verdugo’s “Abstract Mojo” classes again. This time the theme is Archetypal Symbols in which we research and incorporate symbols in our artwork. Of the six mini paintings, this is the final one! I just thought the symbol of "cakes and ale" was cute then got curious as to the meaning of the phrase. Originating from William Shakespeare in his play Twelfth Night: “Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?” it implies pleasure and enjoyment of the good life. Well there you go! 🍺
