Daily Sketch Reprise: Mimi Among the Geraniums
Mimi enjoys a sunbath on the windowsill on the landing, which gets full morning sun. It’s only 18″ wide and 8″ deep, not really big enough for too many cats at one time, so it’s a prized spot, warm and cozy, with a great view. And when the window is open the breeze is wonderful and brings in lots of sounds and scents for kitties to dream about.
Of course there is quite a bit of reflected light on Mimi’s black fur, which we know is not entirely black but quite brown. I had intended to sketch her in black for a contrast of her with the green leaves, but then I saw the colors and all was lost
I hope she does this again when I have the time to sketch her—I’d like to try it in other media, brush markers and watercolor pencils.
I did catch her in marker a few days later. Funny to see I had the window open on this day last year when today it was snowing!

That is so lovely! It is nice to be able to enjoy the Spring I remember from years ago before I moved to Florida from your beautiful drawings…
Deb, I love the changing seasons but Mimi and I are getting tired of waiting for our chance to hang out in the yard. The geraniums indoors will have to do!
That’s a great Spring sketch. Hope you are getting some of that, or is it still illusive?
Susan, we are forecast for snow tonight, though it’s turning out to be not terribly much. I am missing the chance for a little daily exercise outside!
Gorgeous…one of Mom’s favorites thus far. She loves the colors incorporated in Mimi. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Misty May, Mauricio, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
Janet, one of mine too! I need to do something special with this one and the one in marker. Mimi was so precious with these, sitting in the sun on the windowsill, and all those colors were there!
