In Search of the Purrfect Pawtrait: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies with Queen Trixie

Greetings, Effurrybody!


Once again, it falls to Me, Queen Trixie, Furrst of My Name, Empurress of Jerusalem, Israel and the Entire Middle East, Queen of Hearts, the Panfur Princess, Guardian of the Boudoir and  Alpha Kitty Extraordinaire, to lead my fellow J-Cats as We join this weekend's blog hops - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie, and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by the Ever-Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet.

As usual, We have selected three different selfies of My Impurrial Meowjesty, and artified each of them with a different LunaPic filter.

Furrst of all, here I am guarding My Our MY Tunnel. Shimshi keeps trying to steal it from Me, but it is Mine, all Mine, I tell you!

Who says so? 

I do - and I am the Queen-Empurress. What I say goes. So there!



 















The artsy-fartsy effects were achieved using the Dark filter, one of My Favourites, at just 24%.


















Mummy and I absolutely loved this next one, as the light of the sun-puddle falls gently on my furs, making the most magical shadow-play.











Really, it hardly needs any artification at all, does it? Still, for the sake of creating Caturday Art, We dolled it up with Homer, at a whopping great 64%:












In the last selfie, I am reclining on the stool in front of the dressing-table in My Boudoir. Nobody - I repeat - nobody (that includes Mummy) is allowed to disturb me there.





















And here is the artified version, which uses another one of Our Favourite filters - Frida at 52%:














All three artifications will be on display from later this evening at the Pawtraits of Trixie exhibition in the PhotoFunia Pawtrait Gallery.
























And, before either Mummy or I fur-get, here are the blog hop badges:

Mummy apawlogises for not having written her own bloggie yet. She has had a busy week. On Monday, She had one of her field-trips. She came home with a hurty knee - which wasn't helped by all the standing She had to do at her Caterwauling Club's concert the next day, in which She did, indeed, have a So-Low. She did get to rest a bit on Wednesday - only She didn't really (mol). And on Fursday, She went to a family celebration - her Uncle's hundredth birthday!  (Great) Uncle M. has 3 children, 11 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren - and a great-great-grandchild on the way. That's not just a family - that's a Tribe! And although some of them were out of the country, most of them were there. I expect Mummy will write about it in her own blog (some time). The trouble is, She is so busy with all her Activities and gallivanting about - and when She isn't busy, She's too exhausticated to write her blog!!!  By My Reckoning, She has 3 field-trips, an opurra and two concerts to write about - and if She doesn't hurry up, it will be THREE concerts, as she and her Caterwauling Club have another concert next Sunday. Not to mention the pawlitical events taking place at a dizzying rate in Our Neck of the Woods, some Happy, some decidedly not...


So - you get the drill. As I said, Mummy has another concert next week, so of course, there's a rehearsal this evening. Mummy will try to visit as many of you as pawssible before She goes to rest beforehand.

Till next week then - same Cat Time, same Cat Channel.

Be well. Be safe. We love you all.

Queen Trixie you deserve to have all three luxury spots to yourself. Keep those boys away from them. And a Teleport tunnel that you could use to come over here and visit us. Precious would love that. But you better have an extra fur coat because we haven't gotten out of the bitter deep freeze yet. It's nice of you to let us know what your mommy is doing so that we can see she's singing and visiting wonderful places. Tell everyone we said hello and what a fantastic birthday to celebrate.

Oooh, happy 100th! That is a wonderful score. Such a large family too. Now, as to the important matter of the bestest selfie. Yup, it was agreed between Mrs H and I that the second of the three was the winner. In fact, you were right and no art was needed as the colours were perfect.
Stay well, and if you can, get your staff to skip standing on that knee. I suggested she hops everywhere, but Mrs H gave me a raised eyebrow stare so I'm guessing that isn't on. ;)

I’m sorry your mummy has a hurt knee. I have one too, and it doesn’t seem to be getting better, even though it’s just a sprain. Thank you for sharing your nice pictures.

Queen Trixie, mew are looking meautiful, total purrfection! And we're sorry your meowmy has a hurt knee, it must be something going around as the P.A. hurt her knee in December, it was nearly better and then she slipped on the stairs last week and it's a total fluff up!

Kea said...

Queen Trixie, all your selfies are wonderful as always, though I'm partial to the second one with the sunlight on your furs!

Goodness, your mummy is very busy and wow, she has a very large extended family! Her great uncle's 100th must have been quite the celebration!

Take care, all of you, and I hope your mummy's knee feels better soon!

These are beautiful photos and art!

meowmeowmans said...

Trixie, your selfies and artwork are indeed wonderful. Fit for a Queen (Trixie)! Your mummy sure is busy with all of her activities. We send purrs and prayers of healing for her hurty knee. And Happy 100th Birthday to her great uncle!

These are all great, the first is my favorite though. You are gorgeous. XO

Queen Trixie, your photos are perfect, especially the second one. I believe they will be a huge hit at the gallery.

Please tell your sweet mom to enjoy her caterwauling and write about it all when she feels like it, and only if she feels like it. Remind her friends do not put expectations on friends and if she can't get to our blog, then she can't. We just all do our best.

I am praying for the peace of Jerusalem and the return of all hostages.
