Art of Still Life With Cats. (series of 4)
Please see my album of about 15 years of making Still Lifes With Cats. My technique is to start working witih a still life I want to make. Then Wiki ( and previous cats) will come walk into it out of curiosity. I welcome them and try to catch something nice or interesting while they are there. Then I leave it all and do something else for a while - because - 98% of the time - later I come upon the kitty alone doing something really beautiful or silly, but always unique with the still life. This morning I came in from outside and Wiki was drinking water by licking it off her paw right between the roses ! Earlier she tipped the little Chinese stand on its side. I adore these moments. This is because you cannot make a cat do anything BUT (my cats have taught me) everything looks better with a cat next to it.
