9 x 12 oil on stretched canvas
Another furry portrait commission! With this one I could see the eyes! Had a disk of photos to work from and wouldn't you know, Daisy always had those little front paws tucked under her. Wonder what that means in "kitty speak body language"? Such a pretty cat - and with those big yellow eyes - so paintable. Since this was a portrait of Daisy, the kitty beside her was given less detail. I'm becoming very fond of cats! Daisy is now in her new home in Pinellas Park and I'm missing having her and Mitzi in the studio where the two of them have spent lots of time looking at me from the monitor and the easel as I squinted back at them!
They're beautiful! Especially love those eyes.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS! What a lovely pair of kitties, with such luminous eyes.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Rosemary. You have a great touch with the eyes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle, Claire and Jo! I think I've always been fascinated by the eyes of cats - beautiful but can be sooo spooky! I really, really appreciate your comments!
ReplyDeleteLovely cats, and such a luminous blue fur blanket!
ReplyDeleteYour fur work and eyes that you do on these kitty portraits is stunning, Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful Rosemary! Animals are such a joy to paint, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteRosemary, what beautiful paintings of these cats. You really did the fur so well; I want to stroke them. And, the eyes say so much.
ReplyDeleteSylviane, Sherry, Liz & Pat - Thank you! Thank you! Animals are a joy to paint and your support means a lot! Now I want to paint our dog!
ReplyDeleteRosie, you have done again. You can almost feel those cats and want to hold them. Way to go. You are a great portrait artists, people and animals. Way to go. Silvia
