Wildlife Abounds

Here are some of Bella's latest dabblings. The middle one was a book project for school. She had to design her own cover for a book of her choice along with writing her own back cover. Bella also did a portrait of Cora, one of our "outdoor" cats, and this great one of a bear.

Models Abound

Of course, one reason Bella draws lots of cats is because we have many "models" to choose from in and out of our house. Bella has been using her photography to study their anatomy. Her painting below, "Witches' Cat", takes it to another place altogether, however.

A Fascination with Feathers

Bella has been developing an extremely elaborate process which begins with her drawing onto paper, photographing it, downloading it onto the computer, retracing her own drawings in a computer program, then "spraying" on dots of color which she blends using GIMP to create various effects. She is readng "Guardians of Gahoole" and is now fascinated with owls and other fowl.
