Daily Sketch: Spring Window
Mimi quietly settled on the windowsill in the studio on a sunny late afternoon, when the sun is best. I worked a simple, kind of abstract version of her contentedly watching out the window, the calming blue and purple and green showing in her fur, the bright yellow and pale green surrounding.
I had originally planned this to be cropped to eliminate the edges, as I’ve shown below, but once I looked at that version I decided I liked the rough edges, as above. So here are both versions.

crop is a four-letter word.
