Sorry about last week’s lack of Mondoodle. It’s a little strange being up in the studio tonight. I’ve been working in the lounge for weeks now, painting of course. I’d prefer to be up here as the light’s so much better but the big canvas made me relocate. I haven’t actually worked on that for a while but it’s too much of a pain to yo-yo all of my clobber back upstairs and down – the paints, the reference material and the easels. Yes, I seem to always have three set up at the one time. One lovely studio easel (although the upright post hits the roof up here) and two sketch easels. Seems I can’t just work on one thing at a time when I paint in oils either!
I like this peaceful moment. I can imagine his chest rising and falling as he breathes and the lovely warmth of him. A protector and a friend. Wouldn’t it be lovely if bears could purr.
Monday 24th May, 2010. Posted in the lamp-lit studio at 11pm with the smell of fresh cinnamon tea-cake still in the air.
