Artist Ginette La Palme is an artist and illustrator who lives with a tiger-striped cat named Washington in Toronto. While her portfolio is mostly filled with offbeat watercolors and drawings of cartoon-like characters, from grinning tree trunks and teapots to hide-and-go-seek kitties, I’m fixated on these brightly decorated twigs. They’re inspiring a walk through the woods and a trip to an art supply store.
