I Draw and Paint Stories
Here is the third kitty that I did to celebrate my mom’s birthday. There is a new bakery in the Village and their pastries are amazing. What better place for a birthday kitty to hang out!
The nice thing about doing an urban sketch with a kitty is my mom gets an idea of where I have been sketching. She used to come with me when I painted plein air.
What the heck, let’s celebrate the whole week!
Mom’s birthday is coming up so a festive kitty or two is called for to celebrate.
Here is today’s kitty and this past week’s doodle page!
Enjoy!
Today’s sketch was actually done yesterday because I knew I would be on the road today and probably wouldn’t get a kitty done today.
Read on….
Today we started the task of cleaning out Mom’s house. She has a lot of stuff. John and I brought three containers thinking we’s get most of Mom’s Halloween decorations in there. We were wrong. I am not going through a whole laundry list of what mom has. She has too much stuff and now that she has downsized, we need to get rid of stuff.
I saw something in the AARP magazine saying that we need to get rid of stuff and only keep what is really special to us. If we can’t part with stuff now, our family members will have no problem with parting with it after we are gone. Hmmm. Maybe I need to have a yard sale for my own stuff.
My friend Rosi says this kitty hangs out behind her house. She took the reference photo and flagged it for me to sketch for my mom.
John and I went down to the bay after dinner this evening. I realized I hadn’t done my kitty postcard yet so we parked over where some people were fishing. Ironically it was the No Swimming sign that inspired me.
There was a grand opening of a new cafe today. All organic juice bar, açaí bowls, smoothies, etc. It was packed tonight. It’s like the whole gym down the street emptied out and went to the new juice bar. I sketched these three girls. I added the kitty😎.
This kitty is expressing his opinion about many things,
in his own way. Lol
Today’s kitty is a bit of mixed media. I cropped the reference a lot to get the peeking head that you see here…
