Drawn by the sound of my pen scratching on textured paper, Pearl Cat came and sat on the floor next to me. Instant focal point!
Drawn without looking, painted peeking.
For more of this week's holidayish Blind Contour Drawings, please visit Inkfinger, the workshop of Saint Nick's favorite elves, Niff and Sutter.
While I yield to no one in my admiration for Cin, I have to say that the spare color in this particular instance is a function of nonwaterproof ink. You will note I had to stay within the lines or bleed. I bled a couple of times. It didn't hurt.

I happen to know that you are copying Cin with her spare, coloring technique....works here. Wishing you the best Christmas ever and ongoing art intrigues in 2006. I dreampt last night that we were all at a huge estate in Massachusetts in summer - an artists retreat full of wonderful never-ending ideas - let's have some of that in 2006!!! I hope I have more of those dreams manifesting in real life.
Love to you and yours,
Hoss

Laura, love the little peek of tree in this. Just enough and it doesn't over-power the pressies. Fabulous as always. :o) Merry Christmas my friend. Here's to a fine art-filled, safe and prosperous 2006! (chilled, champagne-filled glasses clinking)
