Cats and Dog, sketch and the real deal

We thought we'd just take a little morning walk in Annapolis on Sunday.
What we discovered was two Festivals going on!!
 We like to be festive!
This picture is from the Fall Festival and an antique store with it's "old stuff" out in front of the store right on the closed street. I was happy to see this iron statue of a poodle.

The other thing I want to show you is a sketch, this time of a cat...(more sketches click here!)

I was thinking about Martha who sent me the poodle pin cushion and her three kittens. I know dogs, but don't really know cat physiques.

When I sat down with my morning coffee to sketch, it was off the cuff. Then I thought to zentangle it, and color it in with faber-castel pens I use on fabric. What fun! I made up a font, and just added stuff I thought might be fun and I loved it! What a surprise!

The way I see it, if I don't know how to draw something I can research it or just try it.

 If it comes out wrong I can salvage it or throw it away. 

If it comes out okay I can show you!
