She was one of my very favorite cats of all time and so I decided to dedicate this week to her. She was a retired show cat, a Blue Mink Tonkinese, and the prettiest cat I've ever seen! She was a perfect companion, too! She would always be sitting quietly near me when I was working so often times I would sketch her if I was feeling blocked or uninspired. Always did the trick!
here's a few sketcheroos:
Also, she and my other cat Christopher-Robbin were always cuddling! They did some insanely cute things pretty much every day, all day. Here's some drawings of a few of their cuddle-puddles:
The day I knew I had to put her to sleep I brought her home and she had a really nice afternoon. She had a big bowl of yummy wet cat-food and took a long nap on her pillow in the sunlight. I drew these of her that day and I think they are the best ones I ever drew of her. She would curl her tail into a curly-cue sometimes and I was glad to get that in a drawing because I always loved that.
She was an amazing cat and I am really, really lucky I got to have her with me. I wish I could have had more time but better this much than none, I say. I will close by saying my next entry will be happier and to leave you with a photo of her:
Thanks for checking in at the studio!
Beckaroo out.
I read your post because I'm looking for tonkinese drawings. This post is old but I want to tell you that I liked a lot your drawings, Campana Azul was beautiful and I recognize the specifical tonkinese mood and allure. Thanks you for sharing with us her beauty with your sensitive drawings !
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment! Campana was such a treasure!! I still have two tonkinese cats, of course, it is my favorite breed. IF you would ever like a portrait of your kitties let me know! Love, Beckarooo!
ReplyDeleteI have a blue princess, she's my first tonkinese and she's one year old. It's a wonderful breed, indeed ! You can see my Jaya-Jyoti here : https://fr.pinterest.com/flanelletje/jaya-jyoti-du-bois-de-gury/
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a portrait of her but I'm very far away from Minneapolis, I'm in France !
A lovely little lady! Haha I won't hold living in France against you! I hear it's a lovely place with lots of vacation time. :) You can private message me here: beckaroo.laff@gmail.com and we can work it out if you'd like. :-) Thanks again for the visit and the comments! Love, Beckaroo!
