Black on Grey on White

School is most definately bringing out the creative side in my girls! The oldest has started sketching (not sure I even knew the term at the grand old age of 5) and the youngest is following suit. Only she is  bringing a wee bit of a variation to the word. She has gone in for animal art! Jess was her muse. I think it was her bemused look and little plea in her big eyes that brought my attention to her freshly coloured blue tummy and back paws. (She had been sound asleep on her chair as the artists were creating ...She knows all about her 9 lives!) The photo illustrates the left over marks . Jess charmingly (hastily) and elegantly (expertly) washed herself and magically found her silky snowy white fur without hurting the artists' feelings in anyway ...! (Must ask her how she did that.) Moments like this are priceless and just have to be shared. OK off to put pencil to Mellotex paper.

    The week-end has come to an end and before the week takes off with speed here's a little "in-between post" posts. - A post with a strong ohhhh loooook factor! This is our wee Jess. 6 weeks old. A wee cutie, a fluffy ball. She is the new addition to the clan.  The girls, as you can well imagine, are over the moon and so, I believe, is Jess. Kittens seem to adore the clumsy attention that young children poor on them, the over enthusiastic hugs and well meant over doses of cat milk.   Well, needless to say that my Mac's hard drive is pretty full of new (feline) pics, all of which of course will now need to be processed. There are also new drawings brewing at the back of my mind... Who could resist? I'll keep you posted. Her colouring is "bang-on" with Black on Grey on White's colour scheme...I will have to find a VIP place for her here. Thinking caps is on. Cheerio and sleep tight.

It all started I guess with the weather: snow on the daffodils did just not look right.   Spent the Easter week-end in Germany only to come home to find that one of our two cats was killed (in our drive way) by a drunk driver. He drove off the road...! Polite words fail me...  Gentle Tom (alias GT) was just that: gentle, kind and super affectionate.  He was my muse for this drawing.   Here he is in all is cuteness. When words are too frail and a little meaningless nothing speaks louder than what the eye can see.
