Wednesday's painting...

...I started this iPastel digital painting last night. I had wanted to do waves for a few days. J was the one who painted the sea, water, rivers, ponds, and waves. J's waves are always calming peaceful scenes (apart from one in his whole lifetime, which I now have). My waves are virtually never calm, never peaceful, never serene. 

I woke up for the bathroom last night, and had a quick peek at my waves I had begun. A wee little mistake that was, because for the next 4 hours I was working. Actually the word 'work' suggests the wrong meaning, because I was 'playing' with the waves. I was totally engrossed for the next 4 hours...and remembering all the things J did to create his waves, and also what he taught me.

Finally I settle down to go back to sleep, and cat, who had been very good up until then and had toddled off to do a spot of radiator hugging, came back in and said 'WAKE UP'. He head butted me, he clouted my face with his paw, and in his paws was every ounce of the strength in his body as he was standing on my chest. A cat can cause bruises by not even doing anything to you, just by standing on you.

Sigh. I gave up on sleep. I got back up, and he sat beside his bowls of food. He has 5 bowls. One has his cat yoghurt in, one has the Felix soup in, one has a more meaty cat food in, and two bowls of different types of dried food. I don't put a lot in each bowl, and with him being 28 years old, I always want to make sure he does eat. He has fussy days where he will eat one lot and not another. All the bowls were just about empty. I went to the bathroom, washed them all and dried them, clean kitchen towel on the floor. And replaced everything. He had a taste of everything to check it was to his satisfaction, and has now gone back to radiator hugging.
