This is Berkeley (from last Halloween, sorry only picture of him currently on my phone)

This is NOT Berkeley

Are you confused?

My painting friend/mentor has a female cat (Tasha) who is literally identical to Berkeley, physically: down to the chocolate brown stripes you can see in his fur when he's in the sun, and personality-wise: very vocal with non-cat-sounds in his repertoire, a habit of laying across your lap and biting you if you touch them, the way they give/accept affection, etc, even the way they hold and move their tails.

Tasha, being female, is just slightly smaller than Berkeley. Every time I come here, I kindof want to steal her home with me, 'cause then I'd have a matched set ;)


Anyways, my obscene amount of paint* is slowly being amalgamated into 'general' colours (pictures, maybe later, when I'm done.)

The pieces for my two friends have had another firing, and I'll fire again tonight. HOPEFULLY I can get one last firing in tomorrow morning before I leave... otherwise, I'm hooped. One of those two friends is due tomorrow!


Okay, that be all for now!




*There is no standard pallet of colours, pretty much anyone can mix up their own paint and sell it, which, for many oil painting teachers, is how they earn a lot of their income... because of this, quality control is as bad as PC parts, which is a problem when many yellows/oranges are 'cannibals', which eat other colours while being fired and make a giant mess.
