Here’s a sketchbook page. This is when she goes on her back invitingly, so when you pet her she can attack your hand like a dragon. It’s better to just draw her when she’s in that mood. Ballpoint pen.
Mockbeggar Hall: Oil Painting
I just finished Gregory Maguire’s Out of Oz, which was magnificent.
I did a couple of drawings of Mockbeggar Hall, Glinda’s pink stucco country mansion. I started imagining a low pink German Rococo building, and painted this version as a kind of tall French Second Empire city mansion out in the country flanked by symmetrical attached barns. Then I changed my mind again about how it looked. Maybe I’ll do a Palladian version.

Clouds in the Sky, San Diego- Original Oil Painting
Urban landscape painting of the rooftops of the North Park neighborhood.
Looking out over the tree tops of North Park from an alley high on a hill in San Diego, California. Puffy little clouds out in the distance over the desert.
I debated another sitting to develop the sky more, but decided against it.

Cat Painting Tuesday
Well, I was out of town until last night for a funeral. So I didn’t have time to do a cat painting this week.
I did, however, find time to go to the Riverwind casino, part of the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma.
And while there I saw these Cool Catz:
When I got home I was greeted by this cat pedaling her paws around the floor:
Happy Cat Painting Tuesday!
Happy Halloween!
Pacific at Carlsbad-Oil Painting
Carlsbad California landscape painting.
Along the coast north of San Diego in the late summer. The colors went soft on the Pacific Ocean as night began to fall along the southern California coast.
