This was supposed to be petals floating

[Terri]

....but then I realized that cats would be so much better.

This is a few years old now, and I just came across it today. It started as an exercise in sketching people, and it kinda took an odd turn.

9x12" Arches oil paper, Mungyo Gallery soft oil pastels, with a few Senneliers and Prismacolor pencils for details. Thanks for looking!

Haha that's cute! Well done.

 

[Schuee]

Very good, Terri. I love the idea and the colours.

That's a hoot! As a cat owner, I find it hilarious. Oh, and the artwork is nice

 

[ntl]

Terri, that's terrific!

 

[ams]

I guess it is truly raining cats and dogs cats here. What fun!

 

[Queen Bee]

Love it. So cute and imaginative.

OMG, that lit me up like crazy! I love this. Don't you love it when you set out to create one thing and it turns into something else? It becomes like a magic process that can only be achieved in that prefect art "zone" we sometimes (or maybe only I can only "sometimes") get into. This is really original and wonderful.

 

[Triduana]

Very good, made me smile

 

[Terri]

Thank you all for the positive comments! I feel better about this older work now. ❤

Thank you, Arty. Yes - I know exactly what you're saying. This one marked one of the first times I felt that towards my OP work. I consider myself a photographer first, and always a bit squirmy out of my comfort zone with OPs.

cute but more accurate would be a phone in her hand and her total blindness to the raining of cats ..

Why not floating cats? I wish I could turn off the literal part of my brain and be creative like this!

Oh, I bet you get some good ideas. The next time something off the wall pops into your head just throw caution to the wind and go for it!

The floating cats are much better than petals. It was very good idea

 

[Charlie’s Mum (Maureen)]

…. .nice that your brain allows latitude!
At first, I thought they were floating in water EEK! …. gorgeous colours and such cute cats!

 

[Terri]

Sylwia, Maureen - thank you both! I appreciate the comments very much.
