Watercolor Betsy


This soft watercolor belies Betsy's personality. She looks soft and cuddly, but is as stubborn as a bear. 

Betsy disappeared on me yesterday. She didn't pop up for scratches when I came home from school. Concerned, I called and I searched in all the places I could search that could possibly be dangerous (did I close her in the dryer? the freezer? the cupboard?) and I handed out a very early supper and I found nothing. So I panicked. But finally, she POOF appeared and strolled over to me for her scratches three hours late! As I scratched and cuddled her, and as she purred, I spoke to her about scaring me and that disappearing was not allowed. Betsy was completely unimpressed. She had obviously been mousing in the cellar. I should have remembered that Nell does this often, especially this time of year when the mice move in through the granite boulder foundation. I shouldn't have panicked.

My 180-piece puzzle from last weekend took me two hours to solve. This is 120 pieces, but the colors are gray and muted. I hope I finish it!

Have a wonderful weekend!

    Betsy, you are beautiful. Best not to worry mom that much when you are mousing. Of course, she is glad not to have the mice sneak upstairs with you and Nell on duty.

    That's very pretty sweet Betsy! Yes, it is scary when they just up and disappear like that.

    That is truly beautiful art. Of course - with a meowdel like Betsy, how could it not be?

    Hi, purrty Betsy ... we have only a 500 ft sq studio apartment and I am amazed after two-years with JUNE how she will still find places to hide from me ... our kitties can sometimes scare the pants off us!!!
