Daily Sketch: Leaf Cats

I’m not entirely sure where this idea came from except that the three looked like leaves all tucked together and overlapping, especially the autumn leaves lying about on the ground, although I think the blue is reminiscent of leaves in still water. Not sure, but an interesting experiment.

Also, I sketched and painted it upside down from what you see here. That was how they’d been sleeping but when I was finished it was difficult for me to follow. I turned it 180 degrees and it all fell into place.

It’s the boys, Giuseppe, Bean and Mr. Sunshine.
