Kitty Surprise -Paint Party Friday

I've posted this before.  This is one of my favorite drawings from long ago, so I would put it up again.  It is hard to believe so much time has passed since I drew this picture.

I'm not sure who is the most surprised, the faery, or the kitty cat! In my mind's eye, this is one of the faeries who frequent my garden--I am sure there have been more than one skirmish between cat and fairy folk over the years. It is my belief the winged ones love teasing the cats.

I know, I know--I have a GREAT imagination!

I did the first part of this drawing in graphite. Once that was done, I carefully drew in the lines using India ink. Once the ink was good and dry, I erased the pencil lines and used my beloved Prismacolor pencils to achieve the bright effect you see here.

Happy Paint Party Friday, all you wonderful people. Thank you for dropping by.

Autumn

Watching the green leaves of Summer turn to the gorgeous colorings of Fall is nature's way of dashing a bit of colorful seasoning onto the leaves before stripping them away to lie in colored clutter upon the earth in winter.

Here is the sense of Autumn.

Faery Flair

Once I drove to the beach. What a lovely day it was. Climbing the rocky cliffs above the ocean, I happened upon this little faery. She wasn't a bit afraid of me. We talked for a bit, while she wove crimson flowers into a crown for her hair.
