Mewsette was a little shy and they all were a little upset that I was away. We had a nap this afternoon after I came home to get reacquainted. Even when I sit on the bed to sort yarns or something, they join me and nap all around me. Today

I was thinking in color today, but when I saw Mr. Sunshine, Mimi, Mewsette and Giuseppe curled up on the unmade bed, I saw the angles and wrinkles of the covers in simple, clear ink lines, and the silhouettes of the black cats against the white. Their shapes had just

Yes, Giuseppe is napping, but it’s not a serious nap, it’s a vigilant nap. He’s on my worktable under the lights while I am at my drafting table and computer in my studio, and apparently he’s been assigned to keep an eye on me. They take turns at this, and

Giuseppe stretches his long body full length atop the wardrobe from which he can look all around the second floor, down the stairs, and out the second-floor window over the valley on a lovely, though slightly warm, spring afternoon. The light from the mirror partly reflected on him, creatign some

Mewsette and Mr. Sunshine are looking at one of their siblings, I think, as I quickly developed their outlines on paper. I like interesting angled views, but sometimes I start in the wrong place on the paper, and these two are down in the corner. Their faces are most important,

Mr. Sunshine looks less than thrilled to have his sister cleaning you-know-where right next to him. I’m sure it’s something else he’s miffed about, but Mewsette did just hop up next to him, plop down and throw her leg in the air and start washing. I know how I feel

Jelly Bean settled down for a nap on the beat-up piece of corrugated cardboard they are still torturing on the landing. The light was muted coming in the window, and the corrugated and the floor were just about the same color in that light, just different textures (you can also
