It has been very quiet around here.
My parents took off for home yesterday.
We had a great visit and did a lot of fun things
while they were here.

Mom concentrating on her bird painting

Mom and I enjoyed doing art together.

She left with two matted 8" x 10" florals

and three framed 5" x 7" bird watercolors

that now hang in their motorhome.

She likes them so much, they will hang

in her house when not traveling.

My art lessons gave her a new found enthusiasm for learning.

I hope she finds some classes to get involved in at home.

should spend their time in study. 

Be a student so long as you still have something to learn,

and this will mean all your life."

We are staying busy and having a great time visiting with my parents
while they are here in NJ. Mom and I have been doing lots of artwork together.
I made a copy of my Irises for her on Yupo paper and she painted along as I did mine.
Here is her version.

Irises colored by Eve Sandy.

Now we're getting ready to head over to my sister's house for a

Mother's Day Bash.

Wishing everyone a joyful day

The Summer is Speeding By

Calico Kitten - 5.5 x 7.5" - Watercolor on Yupo paper, matted to 8 x 10" 

I did this painting today from one of the sketches of my little calico

girl that I recently posted on SketchingEveryday here. 

The kids take a nap after a hard morning of playing in the studio.

It has been one month today since we started catching the babies. They are growing like weeds and have more than doubled in size! 

We caught their mother, Ja Ja, and had her spayed on Tuesday. YAY! We are keeping her in a cage in the barn while she recuperates. She is really sweet for a feral and we are hoping to tame her even more before releasing her.

Me (L) and blogging friend, Robin Larkspur(R).

Here's a snapshot of my good friend, Robin.

I am so glad we got to meet and spend some time together in person!  

My Princess Cutie Pye with Robin's Pyewacket and Pixie.

Robin's blog, PurrrrSnicKitty, is humorous and fun to read.

Her spunky Little Miss Pixie has already been busy

creating amusing games.

I've been trying to get a photo of this cute bird feeder that Robin and her hubby gave to Jerry when they visited. It looks so sweet when the Goldfinches use it. Unfortunately, the Doves now like it too and tend to hog it.  I'll have to settle for this poor shot through the window for now. At least you get the idea.

My folks were here visiting for a week on their way up to Michigan with their motorhome. They left yesterday morning. I miss them already. It seems so quiet here now.

I've got more company on the way though! And the guests are coming all the way from California. One of them is actually a celebrity and is touring the world! I'll be letting the cat out of the bag tomorrow on my Sketching Everyday blog.
