Oyster Bay Kitty

I was in Oyster Bay today with some of the NYC Urban Sketchers that didn’t go to Porto. It was a gorgeous day! Here is one of my sketches from today’s outing.

I did this in Gallo yesterday evening. Added the kitty. The couple were AA5 newbies so we gave them a quick overview. They were nice people saw them in the crowd later. John and I were sandbagged by our local library to dress up for this photo. This is what happens when you make friendsContinue reading “Another AA5 sketch”

This evening’s Alive After Five kitty

If Cleo only went to all the places that I have been putting her….😂 I was sitting in front of Kilwin’s and I was sketching the bell and hammer activity.

Coffee shop kitty

John and I popped into the new coffee shop today during our lunch break. It’s a very nice place and they are doing it right, they are offering all sorts of beverages, quick bites, smoothies, etc to tantalize many taste buds. If I were to run a coffee shop, that’s what I would do, too!Continue reading “Coffee shop kitty”

Today’s kitty is one of those experimental kitties and I really enjoy doing them. It’s more about mixing things up to see how it turns out. This even includes whatContinue reading “Striped kitty”

This evening I went out with my sketch club and we sketched Flo’s in Blue Point. Flo’s has grown from this location, to three locations and a food truck. Flo’s BP is a popular summer spot and we sketch there every year. I wasn’t sure if I was going to get this sketch in….the skyContinue reading “Flo’s Blue Point”

Tuxedo kitty

They call the black kitties with a dash of white under the neck, tuxedo cats. My mom’s cat Barney, is a tuxedo cat and looks a little like this one. I know she’ll be excited when she sees this and she’ll think it’s her cat, lol.

Kitty and The Scream

This kitty was completed with three colors, blue, red & yellow, and black and white. I chose “The Scream” because I thought it would be humorous using cats. The triad color idea was today’s prompt from Carla Sonheim’s 365 days of prompts and ideas. The idea was to use red, blue and yellow. “The Scream”Continue reading “Kitty and The Scream”

Serendipity kitty

Today’s kitty is a lesson in Serendipity. In the world of an artist, serendipity means several things. Aside from being at the right place at the right time, serendipity also applies to the “happy accidents that occur in our work. We’re plugging along on a piece and something happens to alter the work. Paint spills,Continue reading “Serendipity kitty”
