Art Every Day - Feline

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!

  1. Patti this is awesome! I think it may very well be my favourite painting of yours...it just catches the perfect cat essence.

  3. Very 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. ;)

  15. 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!

  16. 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.
