From 2013: Mr. Sunshine looks less than thrilled to have his sister cleaning you-know-where right next to him. I’m sure it’s something else he’s miffed about, but Mewsette did just hop up next to him, plop down and throw her leg in the air and start washing. I know how I feel when she does that.

Charcoal pencil with a little pastel…I was in the mood for a bit of color, but no marker or watercolor. Starting to be influenced by spring again, I think.

From 2026: I just think this sketch is funny and wanted to share it. Really, who hasn’t had this happen?

Daily Sketches 2011 to 2015

I think I accomplished what I'd set out to do three years ago today, a challenge to me and entertainment and enjoyment for you: to create a quick sketch of my cats each day as a way to practice and experiment, and present the sketch on that day with no editing, no waiting, no excuses, just to do the sketch and share it.
