Run Rabbit Run

This is a quick little drawing of an image that has been percolating in my mind for quite some time.  I have been wanting to create this scene of a cat family posed portrait with puppets but haven't quite figured out how yet.  So why not draw it?  The original idea was to have a mother and two daughters, but for this one we have the classic mother, father, older sister and younger brother, who is definitely not happy to be there.  The girl is though.  She's a darling angel.  Her parents must be proud.
Why does only the mother have whiskers?  I don't know.  Maybe the children are too young and the father shaved his off.

I have been keeping sketchbooks since art school, and have accumulated quite a few of them of all different types and papers.  Sometimes I see the beginnings of finished pieces when looking back through them; other times I see images and cryptic notes I have written to myself and wonder what exactly I was thinking. It's good to get your ideas sketched or written out, even if they seem silly or unworkable at the time; you never know when you might be inspired by something you jotted down.  And sometimes, the sketch turns out better than the finished piece...
