Daily Sketch Reprise: Three Warm Cats on a Cool Ground, 2013
Where do these visual inspirations come from? Giuseppe, Mr. Sunshine and Mewsette were enjoying the view as I rode my exercise bicycle, having plenty of time to watch them and the light and visualize this composition. I wanted lots of mixed colors, but muted, indefinite edges, but the sketch in black on top of all the pastel. The light comes in the door and fills the space among them, then fades to shadows behind. I had sketchbook and basic pastels to block in the shapes and areas, then finished it later from a photo. Mostly, I had a really strong visual that stayed with me as I played fingerpaints with my pastels on the paper.
As I watched them and began visualizing, I also envisioned the style of another artist. See if you can guess who I mean before you click here to see this painting and especially this painting.

Bernadette, I love looking at drawings such as yours because I feel inspired and confident to try to doodle artwork of my own. I like your three cats! 🙂 I’m visiting from Friendship Friday. Have a good weekend!
Cathy, I’m sorry I didn’t see your comment sooner. Thanks for taking the time to visit! And please do-oodle! You never know what will come of it.
