Van Gogh and Chive

Cathy invited me to go to the immersive Van Gogh exhibit in Providence RI.  I thought that sounded really nice.  Even better, Cathy has 9 foster kittens plus one mom who is not mom to all the kittens.

The kittens are named after herbs and spices.  












Chive is my most favorite kitten because he looks weird and is prickly.

He looks funny because he has what is called a fever coat- his mom was sick when preggers so his coat pigments aren't fully in yet.  It goes away when the kitten is 4-5 months old.





We went to the Van Gogh exhibit which was really, really cool.

Daya's modern class had parent observation today.
It's a beautiful class and Daya led one of the warmups.









I'm off to Cathy's for a quick visit!

LIRR Tracks

Today I went out to do a quick painting after work.
This is from a small pedestrian bridge that spans over the LIRR tracks, with Manhattan in the distance.

I couldn't use my larger palette due to space restrictions.

6x8 oil, about an hour and a half

Back to Pier 26

The boathouse re-opened this weekend, and it was really good to be back!

I didn't paint today (or yesterday!) but it was good to be out on the water.
