Daily Sketch Reprise: Cool Morning Bath

Mimi twisted and turned in the diffuse morning light at the door, all those delicate shades reflecting warmer on the floor, cooler on her, but still all in greens and blues and a very pale yellow. Back to oil pastels for a bit.

I liked this sketch a lot a year ago when I did it, and I like it even more now. See below for availability of the original art and prints made from the art.

Where to find this artwork

I have this artwork available in many different print forms—on paper and canvas, as a highest-quality giclee and as a mousepad, and now and then I use the image on a handmade item like a keepsake box.

Click this link to find all the various prints I have in stock in my shop Portraits of Animals on Etsy, and simply search the title, “Cool Morning Bath” to find anything else I might have on hand at the moment (note that you can search only my shop from my shop’s front page, searching from a product or category page will search all of Etsy).

To find out more about my work in oil pastel and the development of this style, see Anniversary Sketch Reprise: Two Cats After van Gogh, and More.


 

What was I sketching a year ago today?

Cool New Toy

Jelly Bean thought so, anyway, but my colored hosiery drying in the tub was really not an appropriate toy. They ended up hanging outside on the deck until someone took a nap.

Gives me an idea for reuse and a new cat toy.
