The fellow on the bike was painted in oil from a photograph taken by a young friend last summer on a visit to our missionaries in Bangladesh. I'd hoped to capture something of the crowded streets. There were many images that I also hope to paint, but it takes so much to process all that is shown in the photos that I have to take it slowly.
This somnolent living room scene is taken from a shot posted on FB by a friend and I really liked the composition and the light coming in from the window. I also love calico cats (though neither calico who has lived in my house had a pleasing personality, and I have come to the conclusion that the breed is more decorative than devoted. I am far fonder of the grey tabby and black siamese-sort who currently reside with me, though they are less photogenic.
