Posted on July 29, 2020 by dkatiepowellart

I don’t know what we’d do without the cats… Mitchell and I each bring different things to the play. I build forts; Mitchell does Willie Mays. Crinkly paper that comes in Chewy boxes, and the Give a Crap boxes, with … Continue reading →

Cat Cozies

Posted on February 1, 2017 by dkatiepowellart

Gads.  I’ve been putting this off long enough. Blankets and stolen sweaters that reminded me of Jai and/or Kamala. Cried through washing them.  The clean stack made me cry more. And old throw that was bleached then I tried to … Continue reading →

Kamala Reflections

Posted on January 13, 2017 by dkatiepowellart

Posted on December 27, 2016 by dkatiepowellart

RIP… Okay, you will need a bit more.  We had to put her down December 23d because she didn’t respond to any of the meds for overactive thyroid. Her little heart was [pumping to hard, she was becoming more anxious, … Continue reading →

Posted on April 24, 2016 by dkatiepowellart

All these images are sketched in the Bright Ideas journal. I am trying to sketch faster, draw more without an agenda, and also to play again with colored pencils.  I used to work with them as an architect and it … Continue reading →

Kamala Steals the Blanket, 2

Posted on March 2, 2016 by dkatiepowellart

I tried this earlier but was not happy with the result, right, and decided to try it again.  I am happier with this one.  She is difficult to capture — black, but not, and suspicious!  I still used the Masking … Continue reading →

Posted on February 23, 2016 by dkatiepowellart

Just to show what it looks like when you are playing to learn a new medium and it doesn’t work.  This so didn’t work! The masking fluid is tricky.  It takes its own talent to use it right! Then I … Continue reading →

Kamala Notices I Have Pen In Hand

Posted on February 12, 2016 by dkatiepowellart

Kamala is the most difficult cat, so smart, and does not want her image captured.  She seems to know when I am studying her for a sketch, and moves away into a cozy box. I have to use a photo … Continue reading →

Sketching Memories of Our Staycation, 9 Kamala

Posted on November 24, 2015 by dkatiepowellart

Kamala is her daddy’s girl.  She’d like to see me gone, and makes that known. She also has a huge fascination with my sketch bag, and sticks her head in it whenever she can. I’m not happy with the overall … Continue reading →
