Well, I’m feeling sort of sorry for mama now that she has decided that it’s best for me to be at home in my own little bed and able to wander in my garden and lie in sun puddles, you know, that sort of thing. And…need I say this…I really feel that at this time in my life when my little bones are not quite as oiled as they used to be...

I Rose To The Occasion

I Rose To The Occasion

Well, not exactly. But it was a good pun for today’s blog, because frankly, I am exhausted from trying to help mama with this expo (over on Sunday–YAY!) and so I am copping out, whatever that is, and offering you today a bouquet from our garden.  Mama says it is no work of hers that made these roses bloom.  The very cold weather and the very...

Can you believe how some people plant?  He understands who understands, haha. Well, mama is feeling sort of weird about HER garden, when our neighbor’s garden looks so orderly and neat and perfectly laid out.  Mama went out one day a few weeks ago and just THREW seeds over the prepared soil and hoped for the best. And THIS is what happened!  Salad....

                  Well, I’m sort of into this this modeling thing now. How’s this for a sultry pose for the life drawing class?  And what do they pay? I can hold this pose for…oh…two or three hours. Mama and Anne will be at the gallery until Sunday so I have to keep papa in line at home,...

              Haha, I bet you thought this was really me.  See how good Anne is?  And just look at what I am lounging on!  I certainly do NOT have one of THOSE! I would kilim for one, haha. Well, that is something mama is looking for right now—a still life, haha.  This expo was pretty trying at times, but mama says, Oh,...

Expo Exhausted

Expo Exhausted

Posted by on May 6, 2018 | 19 comments

As you can plainly see, I am out of steam.  That was an ordeal, believe me.  Well, according to mama, that is.  The artists have to give a little speech to the maire and his cohorts, and since the mayor was not there, mama and Anne had to mention the assistant maire (the adjoint maire), and several of his associates and one of them was called Camrruby and...

Can too much nip give you brain damage? Well, duh, I just realized as I was writing my blog that I can’t possibly say anything about the expo until IT HAS EXPOSED ITSELF!!! DUH. And the opening is tonight, so I won’t be able to report until tomorrow after all the dust has settled. But let us just say that the president of Chat Bleu, an animal...

Well, I don’t know about you kitties and doggies out there, but my dream life is pretty active.  Tonight on the couch, I must have been having some pretty energetic reves but lately, it seems to be happening more often. I think that somewhere in my hazy snoozing, I hear mama and papa saying, “LOOK, look at the right paw twitching” and...

HEY, wait a minute!  I’m not going to be at the vernissage?  I, LOULOU, the model for all the art? Well, some of it.  I certainly wasn’t for the green and red pepper still lifes or those nude chicks, but still.   I was the model for MOST of that expo, mama, and MYA is going in her poussette and will be the star of the show! %$#!!^%& Ah,...

Yes, I am modelling and so cannot move for awhile, so I thought I’d put in a few of the pieces going into the show on Saturday.  Very different drawings of the same model, ME.  These artist-types, you have to watch ’em. Mama drew this one when I was in a reflective mood, probably musing about munching… Well, in this next one, I am just...

HEY, mama, I would come and help you shell those beans, but you know, I really have another project going at the moment (yawn). Well, mama has been out there in the garden ripping up the broad beans (feves) to freeze nice little packages for the future.  When she said to papa that they would then have them in the winter, papa said, “But it is STILL...
