Cat
Someone from a knitting company emailed me; she said she liked the work I post here and wondered if I would be interested in doing some illustrations for one of their products. So I made some pen and ink sketches based on what they said they were looking for, scanned and emailed them, but never heard back from the knitters.
Q. So what to do with unused sketches? And how to apply them to this week's topic?
A. Paint a picture of a woman knitting scarf and booties for her miniature cheetah.

i wish scruffy would let me make scarves for him! what a good kitty to keep her company while she works on her hobby.
wonderful!
very cool! you definately have a unique style. Keep up the good work!
Neat-a miniature cheetah! Nice abstracted style and colors.
I love the affectionate miniature cheetah and that they are both wearing knittes green carves. Spectacular!
You have a unique eyecatching style and I think those knitters were just plain rude!
I wish my cheetah would hold still long enough for me to measure her feet for socks.
Excellent use of knitting picture! And gorgeous colours as ever!
this is such a unique idea and of course your signature warmth and colours are the greatest!!! I think they are remiss in not getting back to you... I could see this and your work as art and impetus that would make knitters want to get creative!!!
Hot ... not cool! Hheheeee the scarf and socks would be toasty in your environment. Adorable cheetah!
Great lovely painting! Stunning as always!
Awww, that's so cute that he's wearing a scarf! :) I love all the vibrant colors. It really makes your pieces so unique.
Oh, I love this! You have a way of making the unusual seem quite normal...I mean, doesn't everyone have a miniature cheetah? The woman looks so content making a little outfiot for him/her.... Always such gorgeous colors!
Your work is always intoxicating and fantastical....I particularly like this one. Great use of already sketched work, too. I hope the knitters return and see your lovely work.
Hmmm... wha kind of product can I schlepp so you'll do illustrations for *me*!! It's your style: you stamp your work indelibly and it's so appealing.
again those splendid colors! really great!
A scarf and booties! He (or she) will be the best-dressed cat on the savana. And, yowzah!, there are those wonderful colors again. Cool cool.
Fantastic colors as always. I like how it seems peaceful, even with a dangerous animal like a cheetah.
I just had a lovely romp through your blog. What wonderful illustrations. I love your color pallet and style of painting. Great imagination with this piece.
Awesome.
They should have gotten back to you because this is lovely!
great color and texture. the spotted scarf is a great touch.
Man I love the colour schem! Very magical!
I love this! I don't think a miniature cheetah would be a comfortable pet, but it would be an interesting one. I really like your use of color, too.
I love this one, the colours are fab and the gestures are great.
Lovely watercolor technique!!
