Creating the Eiffel Tower cat letter

 

Imagine strawberry 🍓balloons floating around the Eiffel tower…even though Bonnie said,”Strawberries are so over” at least in VT

It all  started with a chocolate bar I bought in La Grande Epicerie..(a great source of inspiration for me and for extra calories). 

Then Imagine Monet figures picnicking on the ground under the Eiffel Tower. 

Then I switched to Paris rooftops. 

Why not use the view out my window? But move in closer… 

Have Parisians celebrating Bastille Day, hanging out their windows. 

Think Hitchcock’s Rear Window. 

There must be Parisian cats! 

I looked at a lot of cat pictures. 

I drew a lot of Paris cats. I even thought of going to the cat cafe..should I go?

I went out looking at Parisian balcons. 

I drew cats sitting on balconies, in windows to get warmed up. Why not just show cats and forget the Parisians? 

I checked out George Herriman’s Krazy Kat for more inspiration. 

Monday morning I woke up, got out of bed and knew I Must put Cats front and center in the picture.The Cats stay in the picture!

On a side note, the pandemic turned some of us ‘dog people’ into ‘Cat People’. Silly cat videos saved many a day for me. How about you? Thank you Cat Navi Desk ❤️🐈‍⬛

But what to put in the sky around the Eiffel Tower? How to draw✏️ fire works? 

Again Google saved the day again/comme d’habitude🎉  It was ‘a long and winding road’ from  chocolate bar🍫 to floating strawberries 🍓 to cats 🐈‍⬛ to get the letter art to the finish line but I did it. Hip hip Hooray🤸‍♂️👏 🥂 🍾
