Jet Pack Cat

Daya decided Isis is a jet pack.
She even let Daya hold her and run around in circles.
Although extremely tolerant, Isis has a terrible tendency to smack other creatures in the face, so as long as you don't let her do that, you can do pretty much anything and she'll let you.

I have pulled a true Superstar Artist Boss Move.
My coworkler is getting married and I have been planning on doing a painting.

I have known about the deadline for six months.
So of course I waited to start in the final three days and it is a LOT of work.

I did get about 2 1/2 hours in before literally almost falling asleep at the easel...why I was so wiped out by 10pm is a mystery- it's a good start but needs a lot of work and I'm stressing.

Why did I wait so long?
Well, partially it's another painting's fault.

I am working on another series of Topiary Cats...started the end of December and I'm 5 paintings in.  This latest one took way longer than anticipated, I d\on't even know why.  Maybe because I have been really stressed about some pretty serious  Daya-things lately which finally have some resolution....or rather a start to resolution.......

Anyhow the 5th painting gave me a hell of a hard time for no particular reason and I couldn't start another until it was finished.  (Mental thing.  I needed to clear it out of my mind.)  So I was stuck and hung up but I plowed through it on Sunday night and got it done FINALLY.

So why I waited for the last three days.... yeah, I'm blaming another painting.
Hopefully I'll get the series done this month or early next month.  Still a few more to do.
