Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treat
12" x 16" acrylic on board

We imagined what it would be like to take the boys trick-or-treating dressed as ghosts: Uschi would take off dragging his costume behind him; Vladi would sit patiently waiting for treats; and Tanji would kick-pickle his costume like a crazy cat. Once the painting was underway, we cut an old sheet into a little costume to see what would really happen...

Tanji is watching and you can tell from
his huge pupils what is about to happen...

Attack!!
Yep, that's our boy.

How about you Vladi, would you like to play dress up?

Vladi just sits quietly under the sheet
with an ear poking out one of the holes.

That was kind of weird.

And Uschi, well...

There he goes, dragging the sheet behind him.

Happy Halloween!

Mushy T

When I walk Tanji, holding his leash and
"directing" him around his yard,...

He gets sooo

Mushy,...

He purrs, chirps, flops down, and happily prances along.

Happy Tanji

Rolling around.

Helpful Mew-ses

Home for the Holidays
16" x 12" acrylic on board

Early this morning Les finished her latest painting. Its a little too bright out today to snap a photo with accurate colors (cloudy days work best), but Les took a quick picture and we'll get a better shot and start making cards this week. The boys were eager to "help" with photographing the painting...

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Did you want me in the shot?

Back inside, Les props the painting against
Uschi's scratching post...

Move this. NOW!

Vladi poses right in front of the painting.

Good enough, we got the shot.
