Daily Sketch Reprise: Mewsette Sketchpage, 2014

I did one main sketch of Mewsette washing her toes, but decided I didn’t like it enough to stand alone so I did a few more little ones on the same page.

I spent several hours framing things at my work table, and after the initial setup with Mewsette, Giuseppe and Bean joined us. Ultimately I lured them away so that I could get my project done and not be up all night, but Mewsette returned to check on me every half hour or so, which was very kind of her while others slept to disturb her own nap to stop by and brighten my evening with purrs and lots of loose furs. She had a bath and washed her toes, and sat between the photos and mats on the table, then found deep meditation while observing a stinkbug on the shelf. All in all it was a good night.

“Oh, thank you,” said Mr. Sunshine as he happily squinted and stepped into the pile of socks I was sorting and folding. “This is just…so nice…purrrrfect,” he said as he began purring loudly and kneading slowly and thoughtfully with both front paws. Read more and order.
