Oak Leaf Hydrangea and Free Kittens..oh my.


HI, I've started a new painting. This one is of Oak Leaf Hydrangea and a Carolina Wren. In 10 days I have to have 2 new paintings --never before seen to enter into the Eastern Shore Art League Member Show. That's a new rule. Use to be only not been in the member show.. but anyway. I'm going to paint anyway. Of course we have to have names for the pieces.. not untitled 1 and untitled 2. I've done that. ha ha.. so I named them "Fall "and "Autumn". Ha ha.. well I don't know what I'll paint. I was driving up Mama and Daddy's driveway and there was the Oak Leaf Hydrangea.. so gorgeous.. the blooms are lacy.. so that's what I'm doing for 1 of them.Haven't a clue for the 2nd one.

I don't even know if I should tell you about the last photo. But here goes... Since Daisy, my lab died 6 months ago..hard to believe it's been that long.. we have been having all kinds of stray cats visit.( A farmer left many when he left his farm ..how horrible.) Well, I didn't want Rudy our 17 year old cat to be upset or bothered.. she's very delicate now,so I started putting food out for "Blackie" a black and white cat down the road in the crepe myrtle plantings.(So he wasn't coming here.) Really under the oaks there. Well the other day when it rained Blackie came up our driveway a few times which was strange. That night we discovered she had brought us her kittens. Two adorable kittens. So we are feeding them and J. put the dog house next to the porch for them to sleep in..with fresh pine needles.. We've talked and talked and can't keep them. Not with Rudy--3 more cats.. and you know I"m still hoping for a puppy soon.I've put signs up at the Post Office and Pet Store, called people.. we'll see what happens. I wish someone would call and want both or one kitten.. Anybody??

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, Love,Diana

    The kitties are SO cute! Thanks for posting a photo of them. I hope they find a good home. :) I also love your painting and especially the wren. If you want to come out and teach a class, the offer still stands! Had a high school girl asking about painting classes today, and that's not Ainslie's thing.

    Love the painting so far, Diana. I wish I could take more animals but we are pretty saturated here. 1 bird, 3 cats, 4 dogs. Sigh...So much work and so much money but we can't say we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into.

    Diana, I love the painting so far - the soft, flowing background colors are a beautiful foil for the wren and the hydrangea. The kittens are adorable. I have a feeling you may end up "adopting" them yourself. :)

    Dear Diana - I know you will come up with two terrific paintings - love the start of your hydrangea one...as for your dilemma about the kittens that might be a bit harder to solve (LOL). Poor things - do you have a humane society that might take them? I know I got Samson my yellow tabby from ours. Take care my friend I will be looking up for someone who needs two kittens. Have a great day.
