Quint’s annual Spring walk © Colehauscats.com
Remember back in June when Quint took his annual Spring walk around his garden? It’s okay. We hardly remembered it, either. He took his walk, then some life stuff happened, Mom didn’t set up Quint’s studio, more life stuff happened, Mom forgot again and suddenly EVERYTHING HAPPENED SEEMINGLY AT ONCE.

FINALLY, in an effort to temporarily forget all current and future woes, Mom set up Quint’s studio . . . and he looked at the art paper and his paint dish and his support toys and then back up at Mom as if to say, “You want me to do what???”
Great. Mom blamed herself for taking too long to get Quint back in his studio and now, the boy has lost his talent. That’s where we’d been sitting until one day two weeks ago when we heard him scratching at the bathroom mirror, just as he always did when he wanted something to paint.

Quickly, we set up his studio, sometimes known as our master bathroom, grabbed his support toys, pulled out some work he dabbled with very early this year, mixed up some paint and let him do his thing.

In no time, he was done. Which is another way of saying he took his ball (one of his support toys) and went home, or to the cat room where, and this is where things get really weird, multiple cats are actually spending time in on a regular basis now! Photos to come!
Allow us to present Quint’s Beach Blooms 2018:

And so we wouldn’t think it was a fluke, he expressed he wished to paint again the next day. Presenting Quint’s Wildflowers 2018:

We’re happy to say both Beach Blooms and Wildflowers will be available at his Art Shop Wednesday morning. And he’s already working on something for fall; easy to understand since our drought weather is already starting to affect the colors of leaves on trees around here.
So, there you have it. Looks like we *might* be back on the painting bandwagon. As always, we let him decide when he’s ready. We wouldn’t have it any other way, never have, never will.
How’d we do, Quint? Did we pretty much capture everything here?

Okay, we’ll take that as a yes. Quint art fans, thank you for your patience!

Way to go Quint, amazing art indeed!
Awesome!!! We knew he was just waiting for the right time. The temperament of the artiste is such a fragile thing, so many things can throw it off. Quint, we think your recent work is just stunning.
That is great mews, er, news, Quint! Glad to see you’ve gotten your mojo back.
Oh boy, I’m setting a reminder for Wednesday, Quint! I’d like a Wildflowers!
Quint! I am VERY happy to see your work!
I’m sooooo happy Quint is painting again! They are beautiful!
YAY! I am so happy that Quint is painting again. I bet one of his paintings would make a great puzzle.
Welcome back art-man Quint, we have missed your view of the world!
Wow, Quint, we bet you know that the less prolific you are, that you drive up the desire for and value of your paintings. These are two more gorgeous ones. Mom will be waiting to buy any until the addition to the house is complete. She actually has a couple she hasn’t framed yet. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the fall.
