Day 24 again arrives – just barely – in the morning. I had to take Lily to the vet first. Last Friday she (Lily’s a cat by the way) got into a screaming fight with an orange cat who chased her all the way up to my balcony. She was limping but examination of her leg seemed to show no puncture wounds. We got cat antibiotics anyhow.
I should have known better. Lily is psycho cat when it comes to meds. Those antibiotic drops went everywhere but into her mouth. The kitchen, bathroom, everything was spattered with drops (including some that flew into my mouth) but did the cat get any? Doubtful. Still, she seemed ok, just limping.
Well, last night she didn’t jump up onto my chest the second I got in bed so something was amiss. Went to the vet this morning, she shaved her leg, and multiple puncture wounds showed up. Someone had tried to chew up her leg! Now she has a long-lasting antibiotic shot and hopefully it does the trick. If I had a gun, I’d shoot that orange cat if I ever see it again. Of course, I wouldn’t, but it’s a satisfying thought. Whatever, it won’t be happy if I find it, probably him, on my property.
OK, Journal
I like to put limitations on what I’m doing instead of choosing from all the options in the big wide world. So I’ve painted a few backgrounds, randomly really, then finding the images from six National Geographic magazines. If I can’t pull something out of there, I won’t use it. This girl seemed to fit the background perfectly. So it’s AEDM #24.
Next, get ready for Thanksgiving! Stuffing prep coming up.

I love the feel of this. I can just imagine what she might be looking at. I should probably try that limiting idea. Well done.
Thanks for your kind words. I like this girl, she reminds me of the girl in a picture book called Wings by Christopher Myers. The art in that book is all collaged, I think you would really enjoy it. Check it out of the library. Sample page of the book – http://www.spokenartsmedia.com/images/Myers.jpg
Wow, I really like this one. Can’t wait to see it in person.
First, I hope that Lily heals quickly. Second, I love your art for today. It’s amazing.
