Two years ago I visited my boyfriend in Maryland for the first time. It was a fabulous week and when I came home I thought I’d draw out some of the key moments I remembered. This was our first, out of many, trips to the Baltimore Coffee and Tea shop. Naturally I drew us as cats, because…it’s what I do! I decided to color it with some watercolor pencils today. Trying to keep it as close to actual colors. Only for paintings do I wish I wore more color. >.>
I’ve painted so many road trip cats over the past 15 years, always in acrylic. I thought I’d have some fun and paint some in watercolors! =)

“A Girl and Her Gingers”
She loved her ginger cats very much, and gave them special one-on-one time. Sometimes, Apple wanted more time, even if Rosie was already curled up on her lap. So Apple would sit to the side, and stare.

Anyway! On to Sleeping Cats & Geraniums!

Is it Memorial Day weekend yet? I’ve been waiting to start planting, and here in NW PA we’ve been told for the past 6 (or is it 7?) years that we’ve lived here, “Don’t plant before Memorial Day!” Why? Because frost. No kidding, it snowed just a few days ago. Ridiculous.

Thankfully, these cats didn’t have to wait, their plants were already potted, or being potted! I was going to start planting in the ground yesterday, but it poured all day. I’m thinking this might have been a sign. “Remember…Memorial Day…”
