tortoiseshell cat with green paint water — Ever wonder where Kelly got those green eyes of hers?

Kelly does have very bright green eyes, especially when she sits in the sun. I would never question her natural color until today when I walked in on her in my studio…

“Oh, no,” Kelly said, “I’m found out!”

tortoiseshell cat with paint water — “Oh, no, my secret is out!”

“Well,” she concluded, “I can only say it pays to be an artist’s cat.”

Don’t worry, all materials I use in the house are AP Non-toxic, meaning kids can eat or drink large amounts of them and not be hurt by them. Nothing is without its risks, but I am careful to source my art materials to smaller companies who can generally trace the origins and contents of the materials they use.

And just what was I using that particular shade of green for? The leaf speckles in Daily Sketch: In Afternoon Sun.

Mewsette also has a secret to greenest eyes!

Kelly, My Studio Supervisor, 2012

tortoiseshell cat behind computer — Could you work under these conditions?

But tell me, could you work with that little face watching you? Those big round green eyes and big rounded ears? I try not to laugh but she’s so cute I can’t help it, and I don’t always get much done. It’s all Kelly’s fault.

And when she gets bored with me she can look out the window and watch the birds in the trees.
