A Well-Pawed Bath (in progress)

A Well-Pawed Bath (in progress)


In my next life
I intend
To come back as
A cat....
Cats only need a
Meal, a bed,
And a well-pawed bath....
(by Sue Bledsoe)

This is an excerpt from a poem I wrote a while back. I decided to try to illustrate it. This is a very rough sketch. ANY help will be appreciated.

Note from Kerry:
Hi Sue,
I notice you have a sketchy style - please don't try to change it, it's the way your inner artist likes to portray what you are seeing. I LOVE your style. I've recently viewed your other submissions via the links on your page and your sketches have a raw beauty, they are instantly appealing and true. Keep doing what comes naturally to you.
Btw, I enjoyed your poem excerpt, it's a great idea to illustrate your own work!

Oh no.....
by: Michael Betz

I hope your computer ills get taken care of quickly Kerry....we all would hate to not have you around for awhile....that would truelly suck. I didn't think men had egos....hehe. My surgery is set for April 13, pretty far away to be dealing with the pain...but oh well...whatcha gonna do? At least that gives me time to get some work done....actually Sue, I just submitted one Friday.....or maybe it was Saturday, but I know Kerry will not get to it till after Monday...no biggie. I am also working on another one already. Something special for my Wife. I do have a FaceBook page...would be honored to be your friend........

ego
by: Sue from Tennessee

Thank you Kerry. I haven't had this much fun in ages and the way my life is, I really need conversations that are not just about the next meal or who has a doctor's appt. or what prescriptions need to be picked up. Not backing up can be a problem. So can falling on top of your computer. That's why I had to buy a new one. I haven't seen any work from Michael lately. Michael, are you spending your time trying to think of ways to harass me? Get busy.When is surgery? Hope it goes well. I'll be praying for you.
Sue

Oh yea, No men don't have egos and they don't have an on-going affair with the remote control either.

Computer probs
by: Kerry

Hi Michael, Sue, Marty, et all
I am also having problems with my computer - I've lost 2 months work so I'll be playing catch-up for a little while. Serves me right for not doing a back-up recently... actually, I thought I had only done it last month, goes to show how fast time flies.

Sue, I would never stop you from posting here - you're good medicine and you keep Michael on his toes.

Michael, nah, men don't have fragile egos, you just keep believing what you know to be true!

Ego??

hard drive
by: Sue from Tennessee

Oh Michael, the comment I could make about a hard drive's fragility but it is a family web site so I'll just stick to the metaphor re: hard drive's fragility and the male ego. Is that too over the top? Kerry may shut me down.

Hard Drive....
by: Michael Betz

For something called a Hard Drive, they do seem kind of fragile, don't they??

Feb 26, 2011
ah shucks
by: Sue from Tennessee

You guys are too kind. Thank you. (I had to buy a new computer--my other one crashed and burned (literally--I fell and knocked it to the floor. Not good for a hard drive.)So I am trying to get used to this one. At least I finally got to the internet.

Magic....
by: Michael Betz

This site does eem to have that effect on drawings.....I think it is the users that have the magic though...*wink*.....

Gee
by: Sue from Tennessee

Thank you Kerry and Michael. Actually, I think it looks better on your web site that it did on the pad. This place must be magic. I am working on a new illustration and stand (sit) baffled but I'm waiting for the muses to stop by.

Agree.....
by: Michael Betz

I agree with Kerry on this one Sue. For poem illustrations, simple raw sketches would in fact enhance them, without over shadowing the poem with a highly technical drawing. There is a simplistic beauty to your sketches, they are clearly visible what the subject is, and what they are doing, yet they are not bogged down with the technicality of it all. Excellent!! I too think you should illustrate your own poems, and then publish them.......besides, cats are my second favorite subject....;)
