Cat on a Fence
Snoozin’ – for sale
Two cat paintings in a row? What have I become!
I moved about a month ago, and this is one of the first paintings of my new neighborhood. My new area is an old one- many houses around here were built between 1885 and 1920. According to the MLS, ours is from circa 1905, though I haven’t been down to the historical society to do any research. I hope to paint it soon.
This cat was just around the corner, in front of a grand Victorian.

Downtown Train, San Diego
Downtown in San Diego, the trains run along the waterfront. When a long freight train is passing, you have time to paint a quick watercolor. 15 minutes? Something like that.
At sunset, I met a pedicab driver who used to be a lawyer. In a couple of weeks, Comic Con will descend on this street, and it will be mayhem. Fun mayhem.
