Window Cat: The White Whale

[laika]

...My stroke-addled pursuit ended here. At the time, this tick with the head of a cat (sorta) was my closest encounter with what had become my White Whale; my Holy Grail.
Anyway, homemade reed pen, India ink, and indigo Inktense stick:

I am allergic to cats, but I would let this one move in with me. I LOVE HIM!!!!

 

[Queen Bee]

Lamar, I love your cat. Shows so much character.

 

[Terri]

Window Cat!!! ❤

I love your coloring here. It's obvious that you had really improved your sketches, post stroke, with this one. There's no doubt that this is full-on Window Cat.

And I love him. ❤

Beautiful marks and texture, and so much character in the expression. Wonderful drawing - and I really like that indigo background, too.

 

[Christel]

Cool cat! Love him!

 

[Sanlynn]

Great drawing, I really like the blue blue for the shadowed interior. The cat has "that look"on its face.

Love it, laika!

 

[laika]

Wow, Artyczar, Queen Bee, Terri, triss, Christel, Sanlynn, ntl - thanks so much for the kind words! I'm flattered that y'all even took the time to look

 

[Charlie’s Mum (Maureen)]

What a super expression … winking in the sun! Lovely! …. And I like the addition of subtle colour too.

 

[Pine Cone]

Love it! Sort of a camouflage cat (aren’t they all lol) — very cool

 

[laika]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Maureen and Pine Cone!

 

[Jane]

nice expression. That cat looks like he knows something.

 

[Joy]

Lamar - A real sweetie! And Iove the detail of the crank on the window. We have a similar one.

 

[Enyaw]

I missed this .. I like the wink.

 

[Triduana]

I thought I had already commented on this ... I just love it! Great expression - our new next door neighbour moved in last week, she has a cat and it sits in the window with a very similar look on its face.

 

[snoball]

I like the cat and I like the "barnwood" frame around the window.

 

[Perry]

I like your cat!

 

[KreativeK]

This is super with its cat attitude clearly showing!

I'm so glad this thread was brought back up. I like this so much! You caught the essence of "catness" perfectly. I didn't know you are recovering from a stroke, Lamar, and I hope you're continuing to improve.
