Today’s a sad day for me, parting with my kitty was tougher than I expected. The new folks adopting her are terribly nice and have all a kitty could want and hope for… a garden to call her own with a platter of squirrels, birds and insects to keep her entertained…. this is best for her, I want her to have her hearts desire…. and her dearest wish, is to feel the breezes between her whiskers and the freedom to play in her own garden…

Goodbye my sweet furry friend, we shall miss u terribly 😦

The new proud owners of Kitty are keeping me updated, and she’s doing really well, settled in already and taken over the house. She’s not allowed out yet as she may run away, but soon enough she’ll be playing in her garden chasin squirrels. I’m sad for me but really happy for Kitty :<)

Spent a few hours painting on a beach overlooking huts in Nanaimo Saturday afternoon. Speed painting more like it! Would have liked at least one more hour on this, but managed to get the gist of it on my canvas 🙂 David took the pics…

Getting busy today with a new still life, setting up my composition and toning my canvas. Feeling somewhat numb and indifferent today. Glad I’m not taking the Seroquel my shrink prescribed, new side affects turns up in the news. Causes diabetes. How special is that? I’d rather suffer with mood swings than having to deal with diabetes thanks very much. Au natural for me, hippie style 😉

This morning I’m going to be sealing and priming my painting panels with the traditional Gesso I mixed yesterday. Smelly and tedious but someone has to do it 🙂 I have a subject matter ready to be sketched, can hardly wait!
