It Was Bound To Happen...

Squinty caught in the act of demolishing my still life:





With cats in my apartment, I may have to give up on still lives altogether. Or maybe I just have to draw more often, and more quickly. He did give me a generous three weeks before unleashing his attack.

In the wake of that, I still wanted to draw, but was demoralized about the still life. I worked from a photograph. I'd always been taught not to do that. . . BUT, I took the photograph myself, and edited and cropped it myself--so I was not committing the sin of "copying someone else's composition."

Anyway, here it is. Took about half an hour. 6B charcoal pencil on light pink watercolor paper, 7x10.
