The process of kitty
Here are some of of the kitties I drew before finding the one I liked. The large one circled in yellow and then trying it out on a smaller piece of paper. And one sketchbook page using that kitty shape….
Some recent kitties
The “Cats out of the Bag” show is up for a few more days. I am already jumping into new projects. This is a recent painting that I submitted to a show.

Cat sketches
My husband and I are taking a holiday break, so I will be posting cat sketches for a few days. Here are 4 pages from my sketch book. This sketchbook is for raw ideas and raw sketches. These aren’t polished works, they are where that polished art gets hatched. I scribble and doodle until IContinue reading “Cat sketches”
