This is a sketch I did of my cat TJ (No longer with us). He would sit there and watch Nelly's goldfish. This is in honor of TJ. I love that cat.
(Come and joins us at Sunday Sketches hosted by Sophia)
This is my last circle journal page. This is for Nelly's journal.
I will be handing it over to her as soon as she gets back from Florida.
Circle is complete.
Her theme was LIFE IS BETTER WHEN......
I love my Nelly Bell!
This circle journal was the first time I did anything like that. It really made me stretch my creative brain so to speak. I couldn't wait to get the next journal every month to see what the theme was and what everyone else had done. It was so exciting. I will show everyone my journal. Page by page. My theme was Song Lyrics. I should start sometime next week with the first one.
I will be seeing some of the people that I did this with in April at Artfest. I can't wait to see there completed journals.
Thank you Shonna, Bev, Nancy, Barb, Linda, Deb, Jonna, Heidi, Nelly!! What a great experience!

Right now I have one puss cat with two paws on my knee thinking about climbing up and another sitting next to me all content. You captured such personality in this piece. Great job. Congratulations again on your appearance in Crencendoh
ReplyDeleteWow Heather!
ReplyDeleteI love your sketch! How great of both TJ and the fishie.
I am looking so forward to seeing your journal!! Nelly's last page was so beautiful and sweet especially from mother to daughter.
I am playing around with my art journal but it seems so pedantic compared to your pages. Ah, well - it evolves. Looking forward to hearing more about your experiences.
And - congratulations!
Teo such very different pieces. I can see that cat's thoughts!

ps. Yayyy for the feature too...I'm away to check it out! :)x
Love that cat-I was just reminiscing about my cat Winnie. I caught her eating a strand of spaghetti out of the strainer-she was slurping it up like a little kid. It was so funny and cute that I stood there watching her for 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing and fun and enjoyable blog. I'm glad I've discovered you, consider me your Follower.
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful, you have a lovely style that makes my face light up with joy :) Thanks for stopping by my blog and leading me back here to see such beautiful works of art, so glad I came across your work!
ReplyDeleteAww... Rest in peace TJ... =( The illustration of him is adorable~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journal image too!
sorry about TJ. We just lost my 19 year old Butterscotch on Tuesday. He too was a great one and it is amazing how they live on in our hearts. Your paintings are amazing. Visual eyecandy and your sketch is so uber-realistic. I have great appreciation for those skills. I could never master realism.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your feature! That is so exciting! I love, love, love your cat sketch. Wonderful way to remember a beloved pet. Visiting from CED today, and I'm so glad I stopped by!
ReplyDeleteLoving your Sunday sketch! I have so got to start remembering to do mine before Wednesday of the following week! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd it is a wonderful tribute to a beloved kitty. Having lost my own this last fall, it touched me!
Congratulations on your feature.
ReplyDeleteI love your sketch of TJ. Beautiful tribute to him.
Beautiful cat sketch! I'd like to profess that anything named TJ is super cool...!! What a lovely outcome in his (her?) memory.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes from ...xxx
Tj in germany...
I love the picture of the cat and the goldfish. I think It's important to have some memory left of the lost and dear ones. Tomorrow is my cat Mimi going to heaven.......I must do a memory thing too about her so i never forget her :-)
