Gouache and Topiary Cats

After parent-teacher conferences we went right to dance, and I painted as I always do on Tuesday nights in the studio.

But I needed a break from reality, I didn't feel like painting the studio, and my mind needed to relax.

So I went to Topiary Cat Land.  Painting from imagination is really, really important and I haven't been doing much of it lately.  Painting from life is vitally important, but then there comes a time to do your own thing.  It is always a back-and-forth.

Working from imagination frees my mind and feels good.

I was hidden away at the table behind the Split Wall, and after class Ms Shauna came over just to see what I was painting, because it is usually the studio.  It took her a minute to figure out my painting.

  1. How insidious those grays are. They creep in everywhere. Nice to see your topiary cat come out into the open.
