Delight-and an experiment

Sandy, our cat, used to like to combine experiences. He would scoop the water from his bowl onto the floor; then dip his paw in the puddle, then lick his paw. You would think we would have learned at some point, to be cautious when entering the watering area, (Sandy lived to be 18). But inevitably there would be a shriek as someone slid through the kitchen. Did we yell at Sandy? No. It wouldn't have done any good anyway. The fact was that Sandy took delight in his daily rituals, and we wouldn't spoil it for him.

In the today's watercolor, I was experimenting with scratching the surface with the brush handle.

It looks like it is stitched, to me and I love how you have that luscious green color on the top. Really lovely, ondge.

i like this experiment. i wonder - when you used the brush handle - did you scratch vigorously, with lots of energy, or in a slow, gentle way?

On the moderately vigorous side. Definitely not slow and gentle. Why do you ask?
