'Homage'

Here's 'Homage'... Another case of hurry up and just finish the damn thing.

This little guy, Al, was born a couple of years ago and he likes to hang out in my mind, obviously. If you visit my website, http://www.planetbeth.com, you'lll see other variations of him. He's pretty cute.

So this morning I was futzing around with ideas and he keeps coming back! Persistent little bugger. So my goal was to finish a picture with this theme. This is just pencil first, then (stupid choice) colored pencil, then some watercolor. All on cheap copy paper. I was in a hurry. Why am I in a hurry? Philosophical quetsion. Also I am anxiety-laden. Need to relax more.

Comments welcome, should any visitor stop by. thank you

'Pet Peeve'

As soon as I come home from work, Spike, my cat, starts meowing non-stop. I feel sorry for him 'cuz he's been inside my apt. all day. But I gotta eat 'cuz I'm hungry! He'll go on for quite some time. Once I tried to count how many times he said 'meow' but I lost interest after about the 28th 'meow'....

Anyway after supper I let him out in the hallway or down in the basement, where he loves playing with dust bunnies and little scraps!

This didn't turn out quite as I wanted. In previous drafts kitty looks much more anxious. But I only have so much time, and wanted to at least post this. I get so perfectionistic! Aaarrgghh! But it's kinda funny...
