Blue

"Blue," 16" x 20", acrylics on panel, not for sale. Not even if you ask nicely. My family will burn me at the stake if I let this one go. When My Better Half works nights (like he is tonite), I play while the sun's up and work at the end of the day. It's a fun change to my normal routine. Today included a little day trip with one of my favorite peeps in one of our favorite places. It was a delight to enjoy each other's company while the rest of the world was at work. And tonight I had blocked time out to paint for a juried exhibit. My entry is due next week, and, true to form I waited until the nth hour. Because the next painting is always going to be the better one. Well, not always, but I do like to pretend. And I think tonite I might have played my cards well. Well, mostly I played my cards well. You see, I turned my back, and Blue - yes, sweet little adorable - ate half my pizza** while I was feeding Gertrude Stein. Gertie the bunny, not Gertie the art critic. Although dinner with Gertie the art critic would be a marvelous thing..... But I digress. Blue helped himself to my dinner and I should know better than to leave food close to the counters' edge. Bad Kim. Send vibes, please, that Blue tolerates cheese well. Thanks for following along with my art journey, Kim **Said pizza was loaded with 5 gooey cheeses and a smidge of marmalade, which sounds odd, but let me tell you, the marmalade pretends very well to be  caramelized onions, which my belly no longer tolerates but my taste buds adore.
