This is a feline rather than a cat, because the face is almost human. It was created from a very quick ink pen drawing I made of my cat Phoebe while she was cleaning herself, to which I added water colour pencil. I'm into cats at the moment (who knows why?) and almost bought a 2008 calendar filled with cats today. I changed my mind at the last minute and chose a Buddha filled one instead. I'll show you next year, it's bad luck any sooner!
Patti this is awesome! I think it may very well be my favourite painting of yours...it just catches the perfect cat essence.
ReplyDeleteOOh I love this cat. She/he looks fierce and powerful. I love his stripes. Could you have a cat calendar in another room? Meow.
ReplyDeleteVery imaginative and colorful. I like it too. We must be into cats too as we have THREE of them as well as a Dog. Cats are addictive. ;)
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with Kate I, your best ever!! But I do love cats :) Really special
ReplyDeleteLove this, Pat- how big is it and what is it painted on?
ReplyDeleteHave a look at my Buddha painting (not a great photo but you can get the idea) on my blog. I borrowed some techniques of yours.....I'm sure you can do better!!
This is great!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful work of art! Simply stunning.
ReplyDeleteOh, you definitely captured cat essence. Wonderful.
ReplyDeletePatti, you are a gifted artist...I love your feline painting...Bev

Love this cat! Of course the swirls always get me, but the face is purrrfect (okay, couldn't resist) for a kitty. You most definitely captured the essence of cat!

Patti, left comment to yr comment on my blog. But will do here too. Amazing youve only seen snow the one time. It is beautiful but not so fun to drive in. It is also cold. Where you live sounds good to me, the beach and no snow. Still, it is fun to build a snowman/woman, esp. for kids.
ReplyDeleteCat-ness essence captured perfectly. Yes, one of your best.
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by when I was out of the blogging loop :-)
Glad you are enjoying such good health and well being.
