Brrr, I am chilly today. Good day for a book and some tea. Later I will probably head out for a walk.
I am happy that the shops are closed and the streets are quiet. It is nice to have a break from the hub bub every so often.
I have a simmering pot of chili on the stove. Yum. Something else to look forward to!

Well, no snow here yet but I have been painting winter scenes recently. This is for sale on ebay right now. I like to imagine myself in the pictures I paint. I am sitting in the room with the wee cat in the window, reading a book by the fireplace.
In reality, the rain is a steady downpour outside and Monty is sitting on the window ledge very interested in the drops plopping off the eves.
So, today is a dreary, wet, grey day but that's ok, I have a lot of work to do. I prefer painting on rainy days. The lure of sunshine is not there to tempt me
I usually put on the telly or some music or CBC radio to keep me company. Sometimes I can look at a painting and remember what I was listening to when I painted it!
Later I have to deliver a piece to a lovely woman in the city. It is always fun to have someone local buy a painting. I never know until an auction is over, where the painting will be headed. Generally they travel far away.

This was taken at the Musee D' Orsay in Paris last year. They hire painters to do copies of paintings hanging in the gallery. It is fascinating to watch the artists work but of course their paintings are never as good as the originals.
I wonder what it would be like to copy master paintings all day with an audience peering over your shoulder. The artist working on this one was wearing a shirt with tie! You can see his jacket hanging on the easel.

I have always loved this painting, Ernesto and the Bluebird of Happiness.
I like to think that each one of us has a bluebird.

This is Monty our new kitten!
A very curious silver tabby.We have had him in our home for three weeks now and I am amazed at the speed kittens grow. He is double the size he was !
He is fascinated with my painting. The flick of the brush back and forth mesmerizes him. He sits and watches with beady eyes until he can't stand it any more and attempts a bat or two. Shortly after this photo was taken, the water jar on the right was knocked over. Surprised both of us!
