charcoal sketch of cat — “Mr. Sunshine Kind of Napping”, compressed charcoal pencil, 9″ x 6″ © Bernadette E. Kazmarski

Mr. Sunshine had been watching something on the floor, began to meditate, then began to sag, soon he would be reclining on the edge of the table, fast asleep. Maybe. Usually he would be. I waited. And waited. And decided to sketch him as he was. And then he got up and left! I think he knew what I was waiting for.

One of the things I like about cat shapes is that their curves all interact and one leads to another, like a landscape; there is his head and his ear, and his elbow and back and hip, all one after the other.

“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.
