Tierra de Quixote part 2

Part 2 of the triptych.


Triptych is sold.

What kills me here is not just Rumi's expression, but also his curled-up back feet.

I think he's dreaming of Kayle--everyone, please take a sec to send good healing vibes out to California for our friend Kayle Martin, who just had a mastectomy today due to breast cancer. She is only in her early thirties.

Tierra de Quixote part 1

Introducing part 1 of an oil triptych I recently completed, and which I'm very excited about. Tierra de Quixote in Spanish is "Land of Quixote." The colors remind me of La Mancha.

Each canvas is 20" x 20". For those of you who were following when I discussed how I paint in layers, this was three or four layers.

Triptych is sold.

Little sun worshipers. (Note third cat in pic, black Cleo, top left, getting her tail played with.) They lie on the dog beds (intimidating the dogs, who are afraid to bother them), and then later they stink.

Rumi is in quite an obnoxious phase. At least I hope it's a phase, and not a permanent thing... He gets up on top of any surface (table, counter, etc.), and systematically and deliberately knocks every item off onto the floor, one at a time, with a pause of about two seconds between each item. I've of course had cats do this before, but not to this extent. He is seriously out of control.
