Tony the Kitten Sketches

We have a new addition to the family called Tony.My daughter has always wanted a cat, but because i am allergic to cats I 've always said no.This time she said that this particular kitten did'nt have a home and it would be put down I had to give in, because I could'nt have that on my conscience.Anyway the whole family has fallen in love with Tony and so have I.At the moment I'm having a very mild reaction,just a few sneezes here and there ,but its worth it.
Tony apparently is a short-haired American black cat and when fully grown will look like a black panther.Wow! I can't wait.

A Shared Lunch

This sketch is from a photo I took in the park in autumn,and the hyacinths are still giving off a heady fragrance. I 've been wanting to paint the goose and pidgeons  but have not got around to it.One very positive benefit I noticed since I started blogging is that I am  never lacking inspiration.There never seems enough time for all I want to paint.It is a most happy state to be in. : )
