A smidgen of blue on a grey.. gray day.



Whichever way you spell it grey is good! We've had a most welcome few rainy days here in Perth.. had almost given up on any moisture falling from the skies for the next three or four months, so anything between then and now is a bonus. If you wondered where I was yesterday it was up a ladder with a paint brush in my hand.. yes again! The whole house is now painted and if I ever see another paint brush without a canvas in front of it it will be too soon :) Into my grey day came a splash of colour in the form of a bejeweled cat. Painted by super talented Perth artist Rahalie McGuirk who's work you have seen before here. Four eyes, two tails and a sweet, sweet smile, j'adore, merci beaucoup Rahalie. Wishing you a colouful weekend, take care and stay safe..

  5. That cat is just what you need to brighten a grey day, Grace. We had rain this morning but the sun has now come out so everyone is smiling again since it is 17˚C which is really warm for November.

  10. The reflection shot is very artsy! Nicely done. I've heard of cats with 9 lives but none with 2 tails...unless, maybe this cat has two tales to tell? Hmm....

  12. The whimsical artwork is stunning. And of course, a whimsical interpretation of a cat is a grand subject. Love the whisper of blue in your first photo.
