Cats of many colors

Last week I did some activities with area assisted-living residents in celebration of National Assisted Living Week. At one location I took a microphone and recorded people’s stories about fall, and hope to use them on KHOI.

At another location, we painted cats! Purple, green, yellow kitties… my versions are pictured. I showed the participants the technique for the eyes, and we used tape resist for the nose, and salt to create a textured effect, like fur. Even with such a light-hearted subject, we used several real watercolor painting techniques!
