Thank goodness this is absolutely the last page in my Rainbow Art Journal plastered in collage. As I did with the Flying Pig, I decided to keep the illustration very simple. This is partly because I no longer enjoy the challenge of painting over collage, partly because I did not want to commit too much time to completing this page, and partly because experience has taught me that keeping shapes blocky and limiting layers works best. I share my art table with my two cats. It is situated in the sunniest corner of my kitchen so, of course, while I like the position because of the natural light, the cats like it because they can snooze in the warm sunshine. They often, therefore, watch my while I am at work at my art table and I suspect they are critiquing me. That is what inspired the subject of this page. I suspect my two cats would have scathing feedback about this illustration. I agree with their assessment but I am just glad to have finished off this page so I can move on and not have to deal with a collage substrate again.

Yup, that’s a cat for you, adding art critic to the list of its skills.
They are very judgmental.
I like this and yes he or she is checking your work out.
My cats are always giving me the side eye when I am working at my art table. As much as I think it is about me encroaching on their space and peace, they could just as easily be critiquing my art.
I think it’s amazing. You don’t know your own brilliance.
You are too kind.
I really like this. I realize you don’t like painting over collage but the results here are really good with great depth of visual interest. I also love the cat’s side glance.
Thank you. I think I will continue to use little collage elements here and there but I am definitely not suited to painting over a collaged substrate or at least it is not where my creative interests lie.
