Cats on Wednesday – ‘Atelier’ Cats

My mother was a freelance fashion illustrator, and she worked long hours in her home studio. There was usually at least one cat who chose to keep her company as she worked at her art table.

From time to time she would take time out from her work to draw her companion (or companions) asleep – usually in a pose of wild abandon or cuddled up blissfully.

I would find the wonderful little sketches all over her studio for years, and was always delighted to see them.
