Bowl of Grapes 3

Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.

I am having major issues with my blog server. As usual somebody wants to fix what isn't broken. Hopefully, I will be able to figure it out but for now this is the last post of the grapes.

Lion 1

Dogs come when they are called; cats take a message and get back to you.

We are not a "cat" family. After one disastrous attempt to have a cat which resulted in a major flea infestation we have had only one pet, a lovely little Cocker Spaniel named Maggie. However, when I came across a photo of this magnificent lion I couldn't resist painting him. How regal and uninterested he appears. After painting feathers it seemed like a good thing to give fur a try. Once again I've found it's a matter of layers and layers.
