Lighthouse is done. I think I forgot to post it, because the brain fog is being a dick lately.

WIP. Magnolia’s are surprisingly fun to paint.
Still got a few details to get through.

The latest #oil painting, hung up and drying on my lounge wall.
#art is keeping me sane.

Zeus. Rescued 2 years ago after a neighbor abandoned him. Spicy. Technically a silver-tip. Loves cuddling and treats and screams when I’m up too late. Slightly puzzled by the rest of the cats not trying to eat his face. Bromance with Bast, indulgent with Osiris and mildly terrified of Hathor.
January 21, 2025 at 9:03 AM
Hathor, my other 10 yr old twin.
Matriarch and ruler of the cats. Half the size of the rest. Trauma bonded to Bast. Adores Osiris. Tolerates Zeus. Demands constant treats and belly rubs. Loves David Attenborough programs.
Art critic.

Bast: one of my twins. Rescued 10 years ago. Calico male (the vet Had A Moment), accident prone and loves being covered with a blanket while he sleeps. Loves belly rubs. Trauma bonded to Hathor. Bromance with Zeus. Over-indulgent with Osiris.
Will only eat cheap & nasty cat food.
January 21, 2025 at 9:03 AM
Osiris, rescued 5 years ago. Sweetest temperament I’ve ever had in a cat. Walking appetite. Yodels like a yeti on fire for attention, food, and when she’s used the litter box.
(I have 3 more)

Some asshole added me to a block-list & named me a right-winger.
This wouldn’t normally phase me because I know damn well I’m not, but when people I respect block me based on an inaccurate list it sucks.
This particular asshole added me after I blocked them.
May your pillow always be hot, dickhead.

Just realized I forgot to update this with the finished piece.

So. Zeus is probably the most overprotective cat I’ve ever had in my life.
This cat will not let me down the stairs if there’s someone in the yard he disapproves of.
As in he physically blocks the stairs and attempts to pass will be met with growls, swats, and hisses.

Last painting before Xmas:

“Hell is a Roadtrip on the M6”
Oil on canvas 40” x 40”

Throwback #art here from earlier this year.
Oil on canvas, A2 size with a detail picture included.
Did this one for my cousin’s office so it’s not an available piece.
Making people happy with painting is the best thing I’ve ever done with my life.

A4 oil on board. This was a quick and dirty painting I did the other night.
I tend to use painting as a pain management tool. I get to do a lot of painting and it feels like I live in an art gallery, so it’s a win all around.

This is a smaller version of a larger planned piece I’ve been wanting to do for a while.
“Hypocrisy 2024” oil on canvas 40” x 60”

Every single year the UK celebrates VE Day and talks about never forgetting.

We are witnessing atrocities daily. We keep electing fascists.
We have forgotten.

This is my latest seascape.
“Birth of a Rogue Wave” oil on canvas, 40” x 60”.
I’m working on a website, but it’s taking longer than expected because my brain is a bit broken right now.
(Chronic flare ups are bastards).

I really hope you like this. I brought in some of Portia’s words from her website because I feel they’re as much a part of her as those tattoos.
(I’ll probably take another in the daylight to see how it looks in natural light.)
Title: She Dreams.

Until this week, I’m pretty sure that cat had spent about a decade on this earth without anyone sucking his tail, either.
He wanted food in the passage so he got a bowl.
Osiris also got one.

Osiris has never seen another cat eating anything without thinking theirs looks better.

The cats in my house beg food from each other by sucking tail ends. (I’ve never had cats do this before but they seem fine with it).

Zeus is the most recent addition to the family, and he’s still trying to figure out the dynamics.
He does not suck anyone else’s tail.
