MsKitty Visits Still Life with Toy Pony; AEDM Begins

Thanks to "Henry The Artist" for following my site; he's another Washingtonian!

In today's "episode", Toy Pony brings home her friend, Ms Kitty.  Toy Pony and Ms Kitty met last week and became fast friends.  Toy Pony decided to have Ms Kitty home to play, and meet the sisters.

I purposely used a flat composition.  I aligned all the friends on the same line to avoid too much depth.  My intention was to have an arrangement like an Egyptian hieroglyph.  I didn’t intend to have sloping lines.  I will have to fix that problem before I enlarge! 

If you’ve been following Still Life with Toy Pony, you will notice I’ve re-arranged the elements.  Since Ms. Kitty is new to the group, and a visitor, she enters from the left with her friend, Toy Pony.  I find it amusing that Ms Kitty, by her attitude, steels the show.  She dominates and looks as if she’s facing the “camera”, or, as in this case, the artist.

Today is the first day of the “Art Every Day Month" (AEDM).  I look forward to the adventure.  I think Ms. Kitty will dominate the narrative.  It' seems fitting, then, that my husband and webmaster, Robert, put "Groovy Kitty" up in the blog banner!  Thanks!

  • Sam:

    Your drawing is amazing. I'm looking forward to more episodes :-)

  • Leah:

    Oh, I'm excited to see more of Ms. Kitty's adventures (I'm a big cat lover.) :-) Beautiful work, Peggy!

  • Hi Niclas! Thanks for stopping by! I checked out your new website, it’s very cool! Your work is always fresh and exciting!

  • Hi Ana, I appreciate the comments about the edges and lines; I work on them! You should see the lines when I first start out…very rough! Thank you and Happy November Creative Every Day to you!

  • Hi Julie Ann! Thank you for the compliment. It’s fun to see what one can do with a pencil and piece of paper! I look forward to seeing what you do this month!

  • Hi Sam! Thank you; well Ms Kitty and Toy Pony just don’t want to go away. So, they’ll be back!

  • Hi Leah, Thank you for hosting Art Every Day Month and thank you for stopping by! Neat that you’re a cat lover. Ms Kitty insists on being around this month. I think she’s envious of Toy Pony; Toy Pony has a still life series and she wants one…..I can’t believe I’m saying these sorts of things. It’s weird how the narrative gets in my head!

  • Beautiful drawing!  Wow…I love the style of it all…the shading is fantastic.  I am starting up with AEDM as well, keep it up!

  • Hi Linda, Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the support. It will be fun to see where the month leads us!
