Cats, 2 Films And A Water Colour

I had a day off today.

I wanted it to be a relaxing day, as I haven't felt very well, and have hurt my neck.

I will survive.

But I was a little bored. Sam is working today, so I couldn't even annoy him. So I thought I could be a little artistic.

I saw CC and Teddy playing on one of their scratching posts, and thought it looked like a good photo opportunity.

They both looked at the camera (well at me) at the same time, and I thought this was pretty excellent.

Then Iwondered how I could make this more "artistic"?

So I added an orange.

Don't ask me why. It felt like a good idea at the time.

CC and Teddy were not impressed.

And Prudence wasn't being left out, she is simply fussy about when she makes an appearance. I like to think of her as the Greta Garbo of the Cat World.

            

                Prudence, too, likes to be left alone, at times.

                Nothing wrong with that.

Then, while observing my subjects, it occurred to me how much Teddy looked like Puss, from Shrek.

Perhaps one of his relatives was the inspiration for the animated creation? Who knows?!

                                    What do you think? 

                                     Uncanny, isn't it.

So this distraction still did not fulfil me. I watched two movies, The Craft, about young witches, and Fletch, with Chevy Chase as the newspaper reporter investigating drug crime.

Still bored.

Then I looked out my paints, as I was still feeling creative.

I produced this. 

I haven't painted in sooo long, but feel I would like to get back in to it.

Of course I need practice, but for 10 minutes work I was pretty chuffed with myself.

I used acrylic paint, but applied it as water colour, using a lot of water to dilute it. Acrylic paint is very versatile.

In coming weeks I will perhaps try and spend more time and effort on painting, as it is such a good feeling to create something.

Anyway, that has been my day. Resting is such hard work.

I hope your day has been good.
