A new kitten and some Whining too

Today was a productive day. I painted 2 pages in my art journal. I can't scan them yet...they are still wet. I will try to post them tomorrow.

I'm posting a couple pictures of our newest addition to the circus around here. We have had her for about a week. A friend found her....couldn't find her family...so we adopted her. Her name is Skeeter. She is the sweetest, cuddliest baby.

I have 3 other cats....2 males and a female. They are full grown. I had a kitten I raised by hand since he was 3 weeks old. He disappeared about 6 weeks ago. :( He had just turned a year old. We live in the country. Lots of coyotes out here. I pray that he will come home someday.

Skeeter is solid gray with gray eyes, and the biggest ears I have ever seen on a cat. She looks like she may have some siamese in her. Long neck, slender face. Hope you enjoy the photos.

I'm headed to the art store tomorrow, to buy some new oil brushes. I let mine ruin last year. Didn't clean them after a painting.

I just received in the mail....some RayMar canvas panels. I bought a sample pack of 4 different types. I really like how sturdy they are. They are 6in x 6in. I heard about them from Carol Marine's blog (in my list of favorite blogs). She recommends them.

I'm going to try to paint some small oil still life or landscape paintings. Maybe even start painting one a day.....if I can keep up my excitement.....time will tell.

I have been having problems with Depression the last year. Never been depressed in my life...why does it hit me now?? I have had an anxiety problem for years...never depression. My Doctor tells me it has alot to do with Life changes.....my kids graduating from high school...etc. I just know...it stinks.

Well..enough "whine on Line" as I call it....lol.

Have a great day/night.....and create something!!

Well for some reason...I can't get the images to post. Let me try again in a little while.
