This is Nobby, one of my two tabby tom cats, Nobby and Eddie. There's a portrait of Eddie in an earlier post (keep scrolling down). Nobby and Eddie are named after two haulage companies : Norbert Dentressangle and Eddie Stobart... because they are a couple of big juggernauts. One of Nobby's favourite places is the warm blue blanket that serves as a throw on our sofa. Here, the colours of the blanket make me think of the wonderful paintings by Nicolas de Staël.

Miro's Girl

A Digital Finger Painting
(Brushes App on iPad)

I did this painting after seeing Miro's "Jeune fille s'évadant" at the Maeght Foundation in St Paul de Vence.
































The Maeght Foundation is a wonderful collection of modern art. Some of the work is displayed inside but much of the sculpture is displayed outside in the gardens and in Miro's Labyrinth, which Les and I enjoyed exploring.

Hello again !

It's been quite a while since my last post. Sorry ! I hope that my regular followers will forgive this omission.  I do a lot of work now on my iPad with the Brushes App. I have to watermark these images before I can post them on-line. With a new computer, it's taken me a while to find a watermarking app. A lame excuse. I shall try and get back to the good habit of regular posts with new images. 

In the meantime, here are two of my most recent Brushes paintings:
