Graphite on Strathmore sketch paper
This past Monday I was listening to one of Danny Gregory’s Illustrated Life podcasts. He was interviewing artist Roz Stendahl. I was not familiar her, however as the podcast progressed I continued to learn more and gain more inspiration from what she shared with Danny Gregory. The thing that captured my imagination most was her “Daily Dots” project, which was a five year process of daily sketching her beautiful dog, Dot.
So that Monday night I began making a point of sketching my cat, Slim. She is a very special pet, friendly and quirky, and I care for her very much. This sketch is of her napping in one of her beds (she has three) at the dinning room window.

I'm so glad you commented on my blog- it led me to yours! I'm enjoying all your sketches and paintings, Liz. I've subscribed to your feed and I'm going to poke around a while longer before getting another cup of coffee....
Hi Susan, thanks for stopping by and signing up for updates. Blogging is really a wonderful way to connect with other fellow artists!
I just LOVE your drawings. They are so sensitive, and you have completely captured the kitten qualities of Slim! The daily drawing project you noted is a great idea and excercise and food for thought. I hope my cat cooperates! I also love your sunflower avatar. Nice work!
Thanks Paula, Slim has her moments, however so far I have not missed a day! I will post new sketches of her once I get my scanner set up again.
I was admiring your paintings and as I scrolled down the page this sketch just grabbed at my eyes (and heartstrings). The paintings are very, very good. This sketch is captivating. Slim is a lucky baby I can tell.
Thanks Lisa, Slim is a lucky kitty, however I am also lucky to have her affection as well!
