 This is a series of work in progress. This is an experiment - I haven't done much architectural drawing. But I love this house so much. It is one of Vancouver's beautiful heritage houses that has been carefully restored and maintained. And it is on my block. I had this idea of putting a larger than life cat into the picture - this was the photo that served as the reference for the cat drawing. However, after sketching the cat in, I decided I just liked the house on it's own. It has so much character and many stories to tell. First layer is a contour drawing of the edges. Second layer I added translucent tinted ink to define the main areas of local colour. I still have no idea what I am going to do about the sky or the surrounding shrubbery.

  Neighbour's cat caught my eye on a dog walk. It was sitting on their front porch monitoring activity on the street.
