Daily Photo: Four Loaves

Four Loaves.

As you’ve seen, they typically cuddle, but here they are looking perhaps a little dissatisfied with their lot. They have a nice soft, warm bed on a rainy December day, what more could they want? I never figured it out, but later they were cuddled quite sweetly; you’ll see that sometime soon in a Wordless Wednesday, perhaps.

I decided to have a little fun with them in Photoshop, so I applied the cutout filter which makes it appear with a Sunday comics kind of look. They blend together, but keep some of the highlights, and you can see a few eyes looking at you.

And then yet a little more simplified. By the way, it’s Mewsette, Giuseppe, Bean and Sunshine.

Four loaves filtered and simplified…I think I’m getting somewhere.

    • Diana, it was so odd to see them loafing! Made me wonder what was up.

  • i love this picture, but wonder if, since you’re being all photo-shopy and all, if there is a way to make the 4th cat’s (Mr. Sunshine?) eye more obvious. in the original photo, it is clear that two cats are looking at the camera, which I loved, but that’s harder to pick up in the photoshop version. just a thought. but what little works of art your friends are! lucky you ;-D

    • Sparky, yes I could, and I actually started clarifying on them and added a pupil to Giuseppe’s eye intending to get to Mr. Sunshine, but I determined the amount of time it would take and decided I’d finish it later. I want to smooth out some of the shadow areas, I think it would make a neat illustration. Thanks for the suggestion!

  • This is one of the most beautiful sights to see ever. I never fail to smile when I enter my bedroom to find my girls happily sharing my bed. Kisses to all the “loaves!”

    • I have so many happy photos through the years of groups of cats sharing the bed. It’s tempting to join them!
