... ideas involving other media that take a little time to work, and also a different base, such as watercolor or oil pastel.
2025: I didn't do any more sketches, but I'm dreaming up some gift items.

I thank Mr. Sunshine for being the model for this design, and for four little black kittens who inspired it! Your memories are definitely a blessing.

She LOVED walking on the deck railing and surveilling the back yard like the little queen that she knew she was.
This week's Mimi and Mewsette Monday, the whole drama:

Brought in the geraniums. They're downloading a whole summer's worth of messages. Some Mimi's Homegrown Catnip seeded itself in there too.

Truly mimicking a feline's experience of catching prey for her breakfast, now she's too excited to have a bath and a nap and she's playing around the kitchen being pretty proud of herself.

Those big white mittens have to be kept sparkling clean, along with all those loooonnnggg white whiskers! Mariposa's bath is quite a production as she works her way through all of it, and her fluffy tresses too.

I learned so much during those years, techniques that I still use today, and I thank those five wonderful black cats for inspiring me to sketch every day so that I had the creative exercise to build my skills.

This is the greeting card design that I later adapted to a garden flag, placemat, lots else. Really, what would I spend my time doing without them to inspire me?

...she is quiet and introspective, unlike her brothers, and I can just see her in the role of a gypsy fortune-teller!
I have another to share but you can see them all here:

She likes the real stuff too. I pinched a few branches this afternoon and handed them out in the kitchen but you can't kick that stuff.
This original sketch is still available!

And I'll remember them all in all the things I sell to others, knowing their likeness and memory continue on.

He was right on it as soon as I brought it inside, almost as if he was anticipating it. I use USPS Informed Delivery but maybe I should just check on my cats' behavior when a package is on its way.

Finally, I sketched their outlines in black pastel atop it all.

I used to enjoy little ink sketch cartoons and I don't know how I fell away from it. We'll see if maybe I can carve out the time for that.

I know this sketch is difficult to visually understand, but it love it for its color and near abstraction.
