😀 Not a bad idea. I'm trying sitting on it myself at the moment to see if it piques their interest.

Two cats on chair. No cats on bed.

And later....

Chair with no cat and cat bed with no cat.

We bought a new cat bed for the studio as one cat always sleeps on the floor and one on the chair. This is the result.

They’re just pulling you into a false sense of security. The lifetime supply of fresh mice will be arriving soon

More cats sitting where they shouldn't be sitting

Nope. Might be lunchtime...

A cat sitting where a cat shouldn't sit.

Two seconds. I look away for two seconds.... #chromamagic #magicpuss

It's getting a bit out of hand but it is awesome!

I wondered where that sharpie had gone.

Magic puss with Treat Mouse.

Each morning, @micheleclamp.com gets the “treat mouse” out for the Chroma and Magic puss.

We both sing “🎶 treat mouse, treat mouse! 🎶” to the tune of Street Life with Randy Crawford.

So that’s how that’s all going. 🤣

I play the treat mouse

Because there's no place I can go

Treat mouse

It's the only life I know

Treat mouse

And there's a thousand treats to play

Treat mouse

Until you treat your life away

Probably yes. Unfortunately.

colored spheres and cubes for painting practice.

What I will do to avoid painting - part 37. I have a load of spheres and cubes that I use for painting practice. They've been rolling around in a cardboard box for years. Finally got round to putting them in racks and made some foam cosies to stop them rattling. Very satisfying. #painting

Quality control testing complete <chomp>

No sleeping on the job at ChromaMagic towers. No sirree.

Yes me too. Getting back in the swing of things - it's been a while since I've painted portraits.

Watercolor portrait

Rachel again today in portrait class. Good to have a second shot at someone. It was touch and go half way through but just about pulled it off. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait #portraitpainting

Thank you. Yes there's nothing like working from life. Portraits just aren't the same otherwise.

Thank you. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. This one worked.

Another productive afternoon at Bob Collins' portrait class at Post Road Art. The lovely Rachel was our model today #watercolor #watercolorportrait #portraits #watercolorpainting

Watercolor flower demo with chromamagic

Ok. So reviewing yesterday's efforts much more work needed on the old drawing skills. Today - a quick #chromamagic demo on how much you can achieve with only a few colors and shapes and no fancy brushwork. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #floralart #art

Watercolor portrait

Tried a watercolor version of last week’s model. A little rusty but not too shabby I think #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait

Yup. I try and take a couple of photos if I see something. Photos aren't great but they are ok for jogging the memory. I can sometimes go years between seeing a good view and getting back to actually paint it.

Reference for this. Making James hang around while I paint is not conducive to a happy life.

Boston brownstone watercolor

A little Boston brownstone flavor after our trip to the big city last week. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #bostonpainting #boston #cityscape #watercolorcityscape
