Animal wednesday / Sjimmie still in the window sill


This is the painting I was struggling with last week.........
I don't know if it is finished or not but I took it home.
I love how the sky and water turned out, but the rest....nah.
I will just look at it and see what I would like to change.
I feel much better after my cold and played tennis and went to my art class with the bike instead of the car. 
 When I came home I found Sjimmie in the window sill.....
 Just like he was still there since 2 weeks ago....

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

John Lennon, "Beautiful Boy"
English singer & songwriter (1940 - 1980)
Don't forget to click on the link above to hear the song with the famous quote and enjoy it.

Sjimmie: "Now that is something for human beings
I just plan my naps that's all. and in between naps I just live by the moment."

Happy Animal Wednesday!

    Oh, that SJIMMIE!!!!! I can't imagine anything more adorable to come home and find! He fits in that basket perfectly....

    I like the painting...the hills both green and purple have female feeling for me in their shapes. Very sensual.

    And your kitty is such a love.
    So sweet!!!Hug him for me please, and happy animal Wednesday to you too.

    I love the colors in your painting! Hide it for a few days and you will see what is bothering you.

    I laughed out loud when I saw Sjimmie in that basket. What a guy!!!!

    So happy you are feeling better.

    I think if you put away your painting for awhile you will have a better perspective of what bothers you about it. I like those rolling hills. Sjimmie is living the royal life. King of the house no doubt. HAW.

    I love that painting!!! It has magic ;) I think you should continue with these landscape/seascapes. They're very dreamlike!

    That Sjimmie...nap nap nap eat nap nap nap eat poop :)

    xoxo!
