Daily Sketch: Cat-eating Bag

That nasty bag is devouring my cats again, the same one that tried to swallow Mimi whole last week. Mr. Sunshine got out safely, but not before I sketched him. It was another case of pulling artwork out of the bag  to put away and leaving it standing in place there was immediately a cat in it, as if the cat had been under the art. He crouched in the bag, being secretive, but I knew he’d make an appearance. I sketched the bag first and waited for him to appear and chose a rather desperate-looking pose.

What was I sketching last year?

Just needed a bit of color today. Mewsette and Giuseppe were curled in tight balls and sleeping tucked up close together, Mewsette’s chin on his hip and his paw over his face.

Giuseppe is dark green, Jelly Bean is light green; I added the cranberry outlines for greater definition.

Bean is crouching just a bit as if he’s ready to lie down and curl up, but he really is significantly shorter than Giuseppe. Both are dozing under the kitty keep-warm lamps on my desk. Too bad for me if I need the light, quickly absorbed by two black cats.

  • Hi Bernadette! Happy postice-solstice!

    Lovely drawing.
    Mr. Sunshine is obviously a proud member of the Static Adposition Cat Club, “In” Chapter. You should design a badge for him.

    • And he is very proud to be a member of that advanced grammar club, Meg! Our weather hasn’t caught up with celestial events…
