Cat and his lives.

Live as you once did; if this is not possible, live twice. - Mary Ruefle #poetry #maryRuefle #watercolor

Beginning. It was so very hot today. The sun beat down on Martin's head like on a drum. The rest of the adventure will have to be continued in a bucket, Martin decided. https://www.instagram.com/p/CP52NzeBJ4y/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) Toulouse-Lautrec drank constantly and slept little. After a long night of drawing and binge-drinking, he would often wake early to print lithographs, then head to a café for lunch and several glasses of wine. Returning to his studio, he would take a nap to sleep off the wine, then paint until the late afternoon, when it was time for aperitifs. (One of his inventions was the Maiden Blush, a combination of absinthe, mandarin, bitters, red wine, and champagne. He wanted the sensation, he said, of “a peacock’s tail in the mouth.”) From Daily rituals by Mason Currey #dailyrituals #inktober #henriToulouseLautrec @masoncurrey
