Babs,
Is Callie a Calico? My inner child painted this. (tee-hee)

~Babs said...

Callie is a calico, yes. And a real beauty.
I'm really glad to turned her loose,,,,
Good Job, little girl!

Babs,
No wonder my young nieces love to color with magic markers. I am loving these sharpies. (but not inhaling them)

Jessica Torrant said...

Hi Jessica,
I plan to make several 9 x 12's in this style.

Lynette said...

Sooo cute, your inner child made an adorable painting Chewy, hey I love sharpies too!

Jeane said...

uh oh - this doesn't look very promising for mr. mouse....eek!

Shrinky said...

Let your inner child out to play more often, this is delightful Chewy, adorable! I do love this style, it's fresh and mischievious. I look forward to seeing the others you plan to create.

Very cute and naughty ttish!

Did this start out as a mark a day?

I love your creativity Chewy!

sukipoet said...

this seems different for you somehow. course all us cat lovers love it!!

Kim said...

Very Cool and different for you, Chewy...well, you are always doing different things aren't you?

I really do like all of the details found in the simplicity.

Onward!

Lynette,
I bought a pack of the colored permanent sharpies. I wanted to try the acrylic paint sharpies, but I heard they have been discontinued. (pout)

Jeanne,
Eek a mouse! (giggle)

Shrinky,
"fresh and mischievious" Thanks Pookie.

Jo,
Actually... sort of in the vein of mark-a-day. - I hate to waste left-over wet paint out on my palette. I have some small 9 x 12 boards onto which I wipe the leftover paint. This is the first result and I love it!

suki,
I am a cat lover too! I had painted cats in the past and it feels wonderful to paint one again.

kim,
Onward ho! (sound of whiplash) Lately I have been doing many different things... too many different things.

kj said...

chewy said...

kj,
The mouse is frozen in fear. (giggle) Yes, This one in particular was fun to paint. - I am soooooo tickled that Magenta Crocus pleases you so. Thanks for your book, I devoured it.

CJ said...

This is great! I think the cat and mouse will end up being good friends.

I used to have a tote bag that said..." Love to eat those mousies, mousies what I love to eat. Bite they little heads off - nibble on they tiny feet."
