Little paws are always grabbing for things they shouldn't. It might simply be the strings on my pants (while I'm wearing them) or a mysterious and irresistible item in a packed suitcase. Some days it's a magical twist tie forgotten on the kitchen counter. Or a cherished and forgotten piece of candy stashed in my purse. All I'll find upon return to the crime/purse scene is a few crumbs and a crumpled wrapper.
I was inspired to paint Desertus Interuptus because of these naughty paws. Sometimes I would actually have to lock the little monster up in the bathroom until I was finished with my desert. Because we all know how determined those little paws can be. Other times I would just lean away as the quick swipes and jabs tried to snatch a paw full. She's actually knocked popcorn right out of my mouth. But that's a whole other illustration! For more paws visit http://www.gattinamycats.blogspot.com/

I just LOVE Desertus Interuptus! So true, so focused!
Great painting! And, you know how my mom is about paws. You shoulda heard her squeal when she saw those photos! I don't swipe with my paw but I've stolen a few edible items myself!

Wow, that painting is awesome! Great inspiration. :)
I love paws!! These are such adorable little paws, they look very soft. Yes those paws can do any number of things that we humans have to adjust to.
Years ago, I was eating dinner and and one of my cats snuck up behind me and snatched up my pork chop with his clever little paw.
Woops!! I forgot to say I love the painting.
That I call paw power, lol !
Thanks so much for commenting and signing up at my blog. I came over to check you out. I love your photos and art! You are very talented. You also get bonus points for being a "cat person."
If you don't mind, I'm going to tag along. Thanks again!
The power of the paw indeed! I love paw pictures.
Woof Sharon! That was some pawsome portrait! I should paint my paws too!
The wolf in the previous post is my Popsy Sumo visiting for Treat&Treat!
Hmmm, I see Sweepy got here first. I love your paws because I love animal paws! When I was 5yo I wandered over to the lion's cage in the zoo just to pat the king's paw! Of course everybody had cardiac arrest! Haha!
I love the painting!! it's beautiful and funny and the colors are wonderful
I have had food taken off the fork just as it was about to reach my mouth - it is Isadora's special trick
Cunning paws work for everything except for getting the toy out from under the cupboard!
Naughty but lovely paws!
Love that greedy look in the lovely painting!
Wonderful photos and illustrations. Have you ever had sleepus interruptus as well??? ;0)
