Ficelle
December 22, 2010
A friend of mine asked me to do some small drawings of her cat for a framing project she’s working on (she needs 3). Here are a few preliminary ones. I’m working from photos, and I find it difficult not to get fussy, so I’ll probably do a few more of these until I get it right.

Love them particularlly the second one.
I find cats not easy at all! I love these! So spontaneous, and real ! Wonderful and expressive!
Cats are indeed difficult to portray. Yours is nicely loose and fluffy
! Love feline mannerisms you have caught!
Beautiful colors and line. Lucky friend.
Love these, Casey! Fuss all you like but each of these is right in its own way. I’m particularly fond of upper left, upper right and bottom right. You should review Andy Warhol’s pen and watercolor cats, Alexander Calder’s ink animals (I think there’s a cat) and maybe one or two by Cocteau. Your friend will be thrilled!
Your kitties
Sorry for that..the computer played a trick on me.
Your kitties are lovely expressive…I like them all and I’m sure your friend will be very happy with your finished drawings!

These are fantastic! Some of the best cat sketches I’ve ever seen. Wonderful lines, colors, softness and attitude!
Love them! I always love your use of color. Happy New Year!
I know what you mean about working from photos…but these are SO UNFUSSY. They are gorgeous!!! Love them just as they are. Makes me want to have a cat:)
I love the first two!!!!!!
He’s a lovely kitty…..or she.
Hi Casey, I always enjoy looking at your watercolors. The lines and shapes are poetic. You capture the feel and gesture of a kitty superbly!
