Hi all. I just did a quick sketch because I felt like doing a sketch of a person. I was just looking at a bunch of portraits on-line and feeling all inadequate because they were all so good. I know I am good at drawing people, but these people were better. I need to start drawing more people again. This afternoon I have to get started on a colored pencil drawing of a cat. This is another cat that has died and the photographs that I was given are horrible. You can't see any details in the fur and the eyes are glowy, etc... I do have to do it because I said I would, but I think most people would have rejected the job on the basis of the poor quality photographs. I only have until June 5th, so I really need to get started today. I love cats, but I don't like drawing them...
Speaking of cats, I woke up to a sick cat yesterday. My Phoebe threw up and then was very lethargic, wouldn't eat, etc... I know something is terribly wrong when she rejects treats. I really did not know what to do as I don't have any money right now. I know that just walking through the doors at the veterinarian costs about $75.00 and that usually by the time all the tests have been conducted, you can't get out of there for less than $250.00. Now, of course, I wouldn't just let her die, but I know that sometimes you take a cat in and pay all that money and they just would have gotten better on their own. So, I decided to wait it out a bit and fortunately, by the time I had to leave for work, she seemed like she was starting to feel better. Then I visited her at lunchtime and she seemed a lot better. Today she seems like her normal self. So, I'm glad I didn't panic and take her in right away...
Hope everyone is having a good day. I need to go out soon to run some errands and then come back to work on the drawing. *grumble grumble*
