Youve motivated me to dust off my art supplies and raid the pantry!
Thanks heaps!

Awwww Dudu! What a beautiful cat. I hope he’s doing okay now. I have 12 cats. All rescued and they don’t go outside. Otherwise, we’ll never see them again and there’s a lot of danger lurking where I live. Beautiful artwork as always, Becky. Thank you for sharing. Kisses to Dudu. 🐾❤️

[JoAnneSmith-diok]

This was so nice. Glad to see DuDu is doing much better. Thank you for the beautiful sketch.😊

As a new subscriber I have already learned a lot from you, 😊 I have never liked the idea of “still life” feeling it too be a bit boring and “lifeless”. But your style is amazing; I can’t wIt to see what is hiding away in the kitchen so that I can try your technique. It’s going to help me a lot as I am housebound so cannot sketch or take photos outdoors. You have demonstrated that anything can be interesting in the right hands. Thank you for sharing❤
I get the gist of what happened to little Dudu and really feel for you. We love them so much it is heartbreaking when something bad happens. So glad he is on the mend. You showed a lot of love in your little sketch of him.
