My diva cat
So, our vice president had made a few snarky comments about “childless cat ladies.” It seems that I am one of them. Practically a witch with a familiar (aka cat). Pretty much everyone knows I am one when I pull out my phone to show yet another photograph featuring the lovely Trinity. What a sweetheart
runoff (an art exhibit)
Yesterday, I traveled into the City of Buffalo to see a multimedia exhibit called “Runoff” at the Anderson Gallery, which is part of the State University of New York at Buffalo. The artist who created this exhibit is Christy Rupp. The exhibit is bright, colorful and very creative. Not only is it imaginative, it’s also

randomness…
It snowed and was very cold most of the day. Not as cold as yesterday, but still a good day to stay inside. And paint. Now, if there were only something to paint. So, I started drawing random lines and thought that was fun. And slowly, little by little, I added color to the spaces
tick tock tick tock goes the clock
After I completed the Inktober project in October for the first time, I realized that I really liked drawing with ink. Okay, technically, I’m drawing with a pencil and am inking it in afterwards. But still, that’s considered acceptable, according to the people who run Inktober. Early in October, I had started getting the Inktober
