Now I do have a good many fur kids myself but, for my first cat I wanted to use one I didn't know. Silly, really, but I wanted to see how it went before I tried to capture the personality of any of my guys. Luckily I have a very kind FB friend who is willing to let me use her photos to paint from. I love it when I meet someone else who possesses the wonderful quality I call "Generosity of Spirit." I have been lucky to find it in my partner and in my friends. A kind word, or an unexpected warm smile, or someone who helps you up when you are down are those people who possess generosity of spirit because they are willing to share themselves and their abilities with you. So, now I'm off my soap box and here is my very first cat painting. Thanks for stopping by.

Totally love this!
ReplyDeleteThank you Shelley! I actually had a lot of fun painting this. I refused to let myself stress about the fur and eyes and just went for it.
