My second studio muse - Ziggy

 Like Lola, in typical cat style, she shows absolutely no interest in what is going on in the studio: she prefers to stare out of the window or sleep for hours, which in fact makes her a perfect companion.

No interruptions, no comments, just a constant presence.

 Summer colours: cobalt blue, rose madder, Australian olive green, yellow ochre and a touch of paynes grey

Below, mixed media used to create the image on the left. Note the studio muse, Lola the black cat in the far right corner: totally disinterested.

In my A4 diary I have been enjoying using limited palettes

Paynes grey, yellow ochre and burnt umber: a classic palette of my favourite colours.
