window

This drawing is a kind of tribute to our cat, Toffee, who passed away in June.
There's very much a sense of something missing around the house - especially when I sit by the window, where he often used to join me...

goodbye, toff

Nebulae. 1.

I've been painting a lot recently - I had my final a level art exam yesterday.
Just thought I'd post some of the prep stuff I've been doing. All oil paints- s o o fun!
The theme was 'exploration and discovery' - I was looking at space!
"The Phoenix Nebula"
Might look more like clouds, but I love this one... so pretty!

_{Something for school. Based on Utagawa Kuniyoshi's painting of cats that form the japanese character for 'catfish', (here's the painting)
I studied his work for school, and thought I'd have a go painting my own cats in this style <3
I hope you can see what it spells out? Did you notice it straight away?
Anywho, more watercolour cats, wa-hay}
