Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This week the flashback comes from April 2012 and is called:

The Scary Intruder.


Eric: We were in the field happily nomming on grass,

When suddenly I spied something that shouldn't be there.

I had to have a second look! An introoder had dared to come into our field!

I will sneak around from the side and catch him unawares. He will be scared when he sees me puffed up.


Huh? Who put that plastic bag in our field?

Of course I knew all along it was just a bag. How dare mum question my mancatliness and call me a scaredy cat. I was only practicing puffing up for when introoders do introod.

For my Caturday Art this week I have made 2 versions of the third photo. I always seem to use the darker more autumnal colours lately so have tried some different layers this week.

#1 still has a lot of the darker greens but not the browns.
I started with Fairy at 35%, then Tattoo also at 35% and finished with Quirky at 25%.

#2 is very different to the colours I usually look for.
I started with Beauty at 50%, then Floating at 20% finishing with Fantasy at 55%. Which is your favourite?


You can find more Caturday Art by visiting Athena, The Cat Goddess.

Of course I also have a puzzle so click on the small picture to do it.

  2. Besides, you always have to make sure the bag isn’t being used as a disguse by some nefarious someone or something.

  7. good that you found that intruder... maybe the bag wanted to be with you because it wanted a cat inside?

  8. Well Eric was right to show that plastic bag who's boss! Plastic bags are sneaky especially when caught by the wind. We like #1 photo the best with the fall-ish colors but both of them are wonderful - any photos of those handsome guys are wonderful!

    Hugs, Pam (and Teddy too)

  9. That was such a good job that you did even if it was a plastic bag. It could have been something very dangerous. We really like the art pictures. Love the colors. You all have a great day.

  21. Yet another wonderful flashback. Hey boys, you never know if that bag might've been a scary creature. Always better to be cautious. Both versions of the photo are creative, and though dad has always been a fan of the darker hues he's found lately that he likes the fantasy setting most. Happy weekend to you.

  23. It is always impawtant to check our "puffing up" abilities. You have to make certain they work when you need them. We like both versions of your art, especially when blown up to full screen. The colors and textures are gorgeous. Happy Caturday. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer

  24. It's furry hard to decide. We love both versions of your art. Well - maybe just a slight preference for #2.
