I think this unfortunately follows many women into adulthood. just last week a bunch of women had a meeting in my classroom. When I walked in afterwards, I almost died from the multitude of scents! Anyhow, very well done Kate!
This reminds me of my sister who used to announce her presence with her perfume before she even got into the room. whew! This is a fun illustration for this week's topic.
Hi kate, me bobo again! wanted to share this with you! i wrote this in my blog!
"May suggest me to enter my art-piece to Illustration Friday, so I visited the site. I saw a cute cat thumbnail (I can never resist a cat), i clicked in and found a great illustrator, Kathleen Rietz, and ended up sitting there reading her post. Later-on I found I got new comments in my blog, and guess what, one of them is her, Kathleen Rietz. I am so happy to get a lovely comment from a great illustrator like her, thank you thank you very much, I feel great!"
Kate, some people's illustrations look so "total" that they have their own life- well, yours are like that- this and your "zoo" are really "There"! (does that make sense?)

Such a sweet drawing! Purfume is something I never use. It gives me a headache. So when anyone wears it, it is an excess to me.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you communicated excess with a relatively simple drawing.
ReplyDeleteI love the green pumps and the fuzzy scarf !! poor kitty....
ReplyDeleteShe is too presh!! I love you use of color!
ReplyDeletea : )

ReplyDeleteThe kitty's pose look so cute! :D Beautiful nostalgia too :))
