Camera Phone photos

I know I must be one of the last to have a smart phone, but I took the plunge a few months ago. I have been loving the photos and Instagram. Below are some of the ones I have published on Instagram, under the name purplecathy. Some are with and without filters.(adjustments of light, colour, contrast etc).

Cookie the cat, watercolour painting

Some days I can procrastinate about making art, and some other days it just happens. Today I created this one using watercolour in 90 minutes.

This one was inspired by "Cookie" the cat, who we use to live near. He was a very cheeky cat, a big talker and player.

Sketch Book drawings...pre-historic inspirations.

Lately I've been playing in my sketch book.

Playing with colour on the left and on the right, inspiration from a pre-historic Horse engraving.

"Water I" watercolour painting

"Water I", 18 x 13cm. This one was inspired by colour and texture. It has a couple of layers, of watercolour, water colour crayons, and varnish. The postage stamp was a lucky find and fits perfectly.

New Cave inspired Ones

Cave Inspiration...

While on holidays, there was a special on tv, about the new cave opening. La Caverne du Pont D'Arc, which is a copy of the 'Chauvet' cave. I did some quick sketches and then later worked on them.

Today, the eldest was inspired to draw on the outdoor table, with some prehistoric animals and people. He used some chalk, which we found at the beach.
