Found these poppies on a recent hike at Reimer’s Ranch Park.

Donald The Cat, Sketch 101
Just couldn’t get the eyes right
One hundred sketches done, just like that. Not really “just like that,” but one after the other, keeping at it. In honor of that milestone, I decided to take on more difficult subjects, knowing that I’ll struggle with them. That’s okay. I’m teaching myself and I’m learning. And it’s only a sketch!
I like this photo of Donald The Cat. I sketched the eyes so many times I couldn’t erase the pencil marks totally from one effort to the next.
Donald!
