The power went out first thing this morning, so I turned my leftover coffee from yesterday into an iced peppermint mocha and did a sketch of my neighbors new bobcat kitty

Several things I don't like about her so i probably won't finish the sketch, but it was a good way to waste time (it was gushing rain outside so gardening was on hold too)
Spent all day yesterday working in my brothers garden in Portland. Wheeoo, that guy has some stubborn weeds! And, since my sis-in-law was a rose fanatic, my arms look like I was attacked by the kitty up there! But I gotta break it to any aunties, I do have the worlds most adorable nieces. Sorry, but there it is. They are about to turn 9 and 5 respectively. The 4-yr-old kept dipping the broom in a puddle and making me wonderful abstract paintings of her kitty. I showed how some of her work looked like Chinese calligraphy, and explained how the Mandarin word for cat is, basically, what a cat says. She thinks I'm awfully clever now, lol!

Mary you sound just like me when I start on a drawing or painting - way too self critical!!! Please finish off the bobcat sketch and then let us see it again as it has great potential. I especially like the way you've done the ears.

I'd love to be able to sketch like that Mary. I agree with Eils, wait for another powerless day and finish it :)

Stop hiding your light under a bushel basket! It's plain to see that you are GOOD. Let others bask in your shine.
