Cats - Bodhi ready for his nap

This is how we usually see our Ragdoll cat, Bodhi, as he readies himself for yet another one of his many naps.

Bodhi’s superpower is his ability to nap anywhere, anytime, for as long as he wants.

Sweet dreams.

Cats - Pepper cozy in her carrier

This is a sweet picture of Pepper as I attempted to get her comfortable in a carrier.

Since it took five Vet techs to get Pepper into her carrier to bring her to my home, I thought if I got her comfortable, she'd not fear getting into her carrier to go to the vet (haha).

Anyone who has cats knows this is fantasy.... hence being the one and only picture of Pepper calmly in a carrier.

Enjoy!

Abstract Color Study 503:

Talk about a great day painting!

Since I’m working full-time, I paint abstract color studies on the weekends.

After selecting the colors of the day, I do one pour on a white background, and a second or third one on black.

This was the final piece of the day that captured the day's colors (shades of purple),

along with the white and black in nearly all of my pieces.

Usually, the final piece is the 'keeper', and this most definitely is one of the best.
