Daily Sketch Reprise: Mimi Sitting
Mimi pauses in her bath.
I love views of my cats from above. Perhaps that’s because most often that’s the angle from which I see them. I was actually waiting for Mimi to pause so that I could get a start on a sketch. I saw so many highlights and reflected tones on her and as soon as she decided to just sit still I began to sketch. Promptly she noticed me got up and left the room, came back in and got up on my lap so I finished it from memory, missing much of the reflected highlights. As soon as I finished, she got back down on the floor. She was pretty clear in her message! I sketched her anyway.
I liked this sketch so much you’ll notice it’s the cover image for Feline Style Sampler, below!
What else did I share on this date?

Milling About, 2012
I enjoyed watching them milling about in the kitchen thinking dinner would be served at any minute. How to tell there were three? Actually, I had wanted more, but this was enough. From front to back, it’s Mimi, Mewsette and Giuseppe.
My hands and feet were busy today and though I had a sketch in mind from their general company on a day like today I never got to it. Interesting, however, that I had been planning colors of pastel and outlined cats milling about, slightly different from this one but along the same theme. I rarely look at what daily sketch was published on “this date” last year before I get around to publishing in the evening, but I’ve found more than once that the medium or style I’d used or planned to use was similar to the sketch from that date last year. I don’t know that it means anything, but it is very interesting to me.
