Bath Time II, cat pen drawing


It's been awhile since I've been able to draw cats, and I've dearly missed drawing my Sputnik.   I recently revisited one of my previous sketches of her.

On Saturday, I drew her again with pen on 8 x 10 paper.

This is such an interesting technique that works so well. You captured the muscles in the cat and I can imagine giving herself a good old wash! Fab!

This is very sweet and vibrantly fun, Juana... I love all the squiggle lines and how well you've captured Sputnik's posture & balance. How much you must miss her still... Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. We're still basking in the holiday glow. And my husband & I had a lot of time in our creative studio. I share a new painting at my place today--very exciting! Happy new week, my friend... Feeling very thankful to know you. :o) ((HUGS))
I love this sketch. LOVE all squiggles. Always enjoy your artwork. Glad to see you back. Hugs! :)

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
