Draw enough kitties, and some of them start to get kinda weird… But that’s the fun of doodling!

Some of these guys make me laugh. They remind me of the kitties in my life, stalking, sauntering, sleeping…

And, like my Nika, always asking for new food!

Does one stand out for you more than the others?

Another cat doodle, sketched in my tent at Jazz Camp West.

Which kitty is your favorite?

And now for something completely different!

Before heading off into the redwoods for 9 days at Jazz Camp West, I signed up for an online mini-course called Cats!, with Carla Sonheim. The pre-assignment was to pull out a Sharpie marker and doodle a page of (non-realistic) cats.

It was great timing for me, because I wanted to keep doing at least a little art-making while at camp, and doodling cats turned out to be the perfect way to keep me creating, without having to deal with water and paints in the woods.

I did this doodle before I left, and a handful more leaning against my cot in my little tent.

More kitties to come!
