Casual Kitty

Sometimes the names for these tiny works just pop into my head.

Another Sktchy inspired cat, photo submitted by Melanie McGovern. You can have your cat painted for my mom, too. Just head on over to Sktchy, sign up and start posting photos. The hashtag #ginapleasedrawmycat is a great way to flag it so that I see it!

Jailbird kitty

I take Carla Sonheim’s year long 365 course. Every day she gives us a new prompt. Today’s prompt was a random pick where she picks two words out of a hat. I had to chuckle, today’s random words are cat and bars. At first I sketched a cat behind bars, but then this idea popped into my head.

Here is today’s kitty…..

Fuzzy kitty

Well, we finally opened the pool for the summer and it wasn’t pretty. Not that it’s warm enough to swim but we needed to open it in order to get it running and cleaned. We also spent the evening dragging out lawn furniture and putting the gazebos together. Setting up for summer is such a project. We still have more to bring out but it looks so nice when it’s all done.

Here is today’s kitty, I squeezed it in between the yard work.

Update and Today’s kitty

I spoke to my mom this afternoon. It’s a cold damp day so she can’t sit in the courtyard. She’s getting used to her new place and she’s delighted that she has birds visiting her feeder. Her cats like the feeder, too. Lol.

She has about 6 of her kitty cards now. She loves all of her cards. I guess we are going to have to get her a binder or something for her to put them in.

This kitty sketch was requested by Sherri Jones on the Sktchy app using the #ginapleasedrawmycat hashtag on Sktchy. I really appreciate the support I am getting. It’s tough to have a parent start to lose their memory, and I am trying to give my mom something to focus on, like going to the mailbox, etc, to look for the cat cards. She’s adjusting to assisted living even though occasionally sounds like it’s a prison😂. Getting mail is always fun.

Berni’s kitty

My friend Berni sent me a photo of her kitty to sketch for my mom. I had a little fun doing this one. It’s mixed media. I forgot to ask Berni what is the name of her cat!

If you would like me to draw your kitty for my mom, please post your cat photos on Sktchy app with the hashtag #ginapleasedrawmycat and I will look for photos under that hashtag.
