Next I decided to paint a cute little kitten lying back on a blanket. This one was more challenging as there was a lot more fur to paint but I was happy with the results...

Cats in Oil
The last few weeks I've been concentrating on painting cats in oil. My first attempt was a beautiful closeup of a silver Persian. I've actually done this picture before but in coloured pencil. I'm so much happier with this oil version though..
Long time no post
Wow, it's been a long time since I posted on my blog! I have been busy with
my art, new Brusho pieces, a pastel and some oils as well. Below
are some of the works I've done...
Deer, Brusho paints, A3 size
Barn Owl, Brusho paints, A3 size
Cat Profile, Pastel, A4 size
Yarrangobilly, Oil on Gessobord, 8" x 10"

Brusho!
Recently I purchased a product called "Brusho". Ink paints in powder form. You can either sprinkle it on paper and then spray with water, or add water to it on a palette and use like watercolour etc.. You can create some very interesting effects. It's messy and unpredictable but I have managed to do two paintings so far that I'm pretty pleased with. Looking forward to experimenting with it more.

Woodchat Shrike
It was nice to bring out my coloured pencils again and I decided to draw this delightful little bird called a Woodchat Shrike, found in Southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Thank you to Steve Hatch for the kind use of his photo as a reference.

Owl Emporium
I have been very busy the last month or so working on a new venture! Handcrafted owls, painted with acrylic paint. I have a brand new website especially for the owls here: www.owlemporium.com
I also have an Owl Emporium facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Owl-Emporium/490545881000527
I would love all of my blog followers to visit my new pages and also support me on facebook and please share with people who you think might be interested. I find it difficult to get the word out sometimes and would love some help :)
