Saffie

Saffie

This is a watercolor of my beautiful Saffron.  She is a shelter cat.  I think I’ve written about her before, but I’ll mention again that she has one blue eye and one green eye, and she is quite the “diva”.  When I went to the shelter to pick out a cat to adopt, I didn’t hesitate a minute after seeing her.  The guy at the shelter didn’t even require a waiting period…they had picked her up off of  the street and she was filthy and covered with fleas, and starving.  Such a beauty, and nobody wanted her.  Well, she is well fed and cared for now.

You might notice she posed for my painting of  “Vermeer’s Cat (Cat With a Pearl Earring) that I used in my blog banner.  I didn’t portray her multiple color eyes in that painting, though.

Now For Something Completely Different

Ladybug At Home

Here are some children’s book type illustrations I did a while back, before returning to studio painting.  If you are scratching your head over “The Possum Fairy”, well, make up your own story…it was the middle of the night when I came up with the idea.  I’ll post more of these later.
