I've gotten a great response for the little watercolor I posted of Shadow, so here is another one I did a bit ago. This is of Larry, our beautiful Maine Coon tuxedo boy. He is from a kaboodle of 5 abandoned kittens we rescued (yes, we're suckers for cuties....)
This piece is only 6 inches wide, and really captures his eyes. I really like the super closeups, if I can get them to pose for that long, but Larry happens to be one of the most easygoing cats I've ever had, so it's easy. I just have to tell him he's adorable, and he flops down and goes into some really cute pose.Since my watercolors are only personal projects so far, I don't often get time to work on them. Paying jobs come first. Today, it's raining and dreary though, so maybe I'll take some time, get a mug of cocoa, put on my slippers and lose myself in some little paintings.
Yes, that sounds like a really good plan.
Please post a comment here and on Facebook. I'd love to hear what you think, suggestions....
Peace,
Joy

That watercolor painting of your Maine Coon cat is beautiful, and captures so soulful an expression.

I agree...you've really captured the cat's essence. This is a beautiful piece.

Thank you so much! He's a beautiful boy to begin with, so it was easy. I'll have to do more of these little portraits. I just love them.
