She's Back

I can't believe it - she's back - oh the relief!!!!! :)


She must have been locked in somewhere as she's very very thin - I may get her checked over by the vet tomorrow unless she looks fine. I'm not sure if her side hurts her - it could be just hunger pains. She's eaten a lot of cat biscuits and I've microwaved her some chicken breast.

Oh lord, yes! I know exactly that feeling. Both the agony of loss and the relief of finding.
So glad your "baby" is home and hope that she is OK.

So happy to hear mother and baby are reunited!!! Now you can fatten her up, poor thing. She's had enough trauma.

I hope you have a much better weekend!!!

playing with watercolours and coloured pencils

This is a page of watercolour studies of pansies, not intended to be 'a painting', I did a while ago that I came across. It's a grey rainy day and the light isn't good to get on with the canvasses so I decided to try to pull it together as a composition. I used a bit more watercolour and coloured pencils and cropped it and added the soft blue green background to cool it down a little - the colours felt too hot. The deep dark pansies were really velvety and intense and maybe not the colour scheme I would have set out to use with the orange and pale yellows - but the background helps to knit them together. Bringing the soft mauves into the darker flowers also helped. I also took another look at a mixed media woodland that was unfinished and worked a little more on that. It has a little oil pastel in the early stages, watercolour and then coloured pencils.
