Ink and Watercolor Figure Painting

Thank you to everyone who dropped by to wish me a good trip. I am still in California. Sputnik tolerated the air flight well and has adjusted pretty quickly to her new surroundings.

I have been slowly listing my paintings that I had left in California in my Gallery Juana Etsy shop. Those paintings are larger than what I have been doing lately. Most of the watercolors that I used were from Daniel Smith. I love his oranges, yellows, browns and golds.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan.
