Over the weekend, I visited a garden. There were lots of good smells and pretty colors that I couldn’t seem to get enough of. So my Dad and I stayed for as long as it took for me to take in everything, twice! He said I was a very good boy. We walked around and around and I sniffed every flower I could. I loved being outdoors!

When I finally was ready to come back inside, my painting studio was waiting and I got right to work recreating what I’d seen. For this small run of four paintings on paper, I kept the focus on the purples, lavenders and pinks of the flowers (great whiffs!) with a light touch of soft green and yellow. I told Mom I need to visit the garden more often and I think I have her convinced that’s a good idea.

I hope you like these paintings!

      Trouts off to you, buddies! Good thing I like flowers so much. There were LOTS of birdies vying for my attention out there but I just thought, “WWTTTD…What would those trout-talkin’ tabbies do?” and so, I ignored them.

    Ooh so lovely Quint! Are you just painting on paper now or will you do some canvas pieces?

      Thank you! My mom says she’ll set up my studio again mid-week after I get more time out in the garden. I LOVE painting on canvas and can’t wait to see what I’ll do!

  12. Quint, you are a star! Mommy wonders why WE don’t display any artistic tendencies.

  13. Oh Quint you are a sweetheart. You do know how to enjoy nature and you are an artist too. Will you show us your masterpieces?

  14. We agree with safe walks in the garden and wish all cats could enjoy what you have. Purrs from our garden boys.

  17. Mom was so excited to see your beautifully inspired work. She has her green papers ready for a canvas… everybody at her work just loves your paintings!
