I am a cat person. You wouldn’t guess it from all the dogs I’ve watercolored recently. So, this weekend I painted a pretty kitty named Ginger. She’s so fluffy!

Last week was Dog Week over in /r/sketchdaily. I was able to contribute this English mastiff and corgi. And who says Reddit hinders production?

It has been a long time since I took the time to paint my loved kitty, Samara. Observing her sitting on an unsorted pile of junk mail inspired me to paint these two watercolor sketches. After all, it was a really good excuse for putting off sorting those bills and advertisements just a bit longer.

Here is a painting of a startled fox. The animal feels out of place, and was created with watercolors. The painting practically named itself.

An Afternoon at the Honolulu Zoo

Here are some sketches of animals I made at the Honolulu Zoo.
I was lucky enough to catch the elephants at their happiest, bath time.
The flamingoes in Hawaii are more orangey pink than the reddish pink I am used to seeing.
The turtles, lemurs, and gibbons shared a living space.
These hippoes were quite fond of one another.
The tigers were beyond gorgeous, but moved around the most, making drawing difficult.
Giraffes, zebra, and a rhino.
Before my trip to this zoo I did not know what a gharial was. Now I do and I sort of wish I didn’t. They are absolutely horrifying. Fun to draw, but horrifying.
I was so absorbed with the gharial section that I drew the trees around it.
