Saw several monarchs on their southern migration a few weeks ago. 

 Finally made it to Mackinac Island and visited Poppins. A pretty island and a lovely shop (featuring several of my prints and cards)!

 finished a large piece

 Doing what I call "white siding" my paintings - literally painting the sides white for a finished, gallery-friendly look. 

 After years of only having a portrait of James, I finally painted Red. 

 Here he is posing. (as a side note, I do paint custom pet portraits, but all my custom art is suspended for the time being as we prep for our move!)

Don't say I didn't warn you.... 

 I cannot resist this face. He can have anything he wants. Anything. All the yogurt in the world.

 Tired and annoyed that I have a camera in his face

 Kitty found a sunbeam

 Ugh, so cute it hurts. 

And none for Gretchen Weiners. Bye.

Just kidding, here's the grey one.

 Up to no good, per use...

 so exhausted, he's melting.

 And just for good measure.... he is in between the sliding glass door and the screen.

 I don't know how that even happened.
