Artist Reply: LOL! Thank you dear husband.

Artist Reply: Thnaks Jessica! I hope to begin a series of paintings and photos in the future to donate to a locate animal shelter to bring them art and some profits for their operations. I have one in mind where I wll be moving in a few months I'd like to help out. Just must remeber not to bring all the animals home with me! Currently 3 adopted dogs, 1 stray 14 yr. cat found as a little straved kitten. AW artist Misty Livingston brought him to me after finding it as a teen on the way home from school. Spaz is my fat baby and our family still tries to beg to take him to live with them at times. I've missed him each time I caved, so here he stays now. Bossing me about.

Artist Reply: Thank you! This painting was a challenge to figure out the metal bowl look, and to do the fur realistic.

Artist Reply: Thank you Jennifer! I do tend to paint with softer looks and textures. I think it's because the digital images, paintings and photos get that awful specked, noise pixels the little chuncks that drive me nuts to see in enlargements. This style helps to take that away.

Artist Reply: Thank you! I did a close up of this style, but using a larger brush on Rodger, Gavin's cat that I added a zoomed up image. It doesn't show iup in small images, like this, so will appear more photoish at this viewing size.

Artist Reply: Thanks so much!

Artist Reply: Thank you Hanna! I will be doing more cats. Posted a new one up already that I think came out really well.

Artist Reply: Thank you Joke! They were just too cute!

Artist Reply: I'll be fine in a few days. My granddaughter shared her pink eye infection. Of course, I had to get a tear duct infected as a result, which led to a sinus infection. Applying warm wet compresses as directed on my oversensitive skin gave me a lovely pink, chapped cheek and under the eye area.-which can not treat until eye gets better. I'm really looking my age today, and then some! Got one good eye, so Still moving. Had a week off on vacation spent nursing my grandbaby, then recovering from that with this. It will be about 2 more days before my eye's normal again. So, I'm playing I'm a pirate, "Yo, Ho! I pirate's life is not for me, it sucks!" Must be my 100th case of pink eye. It's plagued me since childhood, allergies alone can flare it up. Well, at least being bored, I completed the kittens painting in a day! Thanks for caring, and commenting!

Artist Reply: Thank you Thea! Something about kittens that make one smile. I hope to do more kittens soon. Thanks for always finding time to pop in to see and comment on my work! I truly appreciate it!

Artist Reply: Thank yo Lucia@ They are so huggable! With my little grandaughter chasing them, they are leary and hard to pet. They wait until she naps, then come over to you.

Artist Reply: Thanks Emily! This is the final version, no watery blotches I didn't finish blending. See, I do blend, and it makes a difference! LOL!

Artist Reply: Thannk you! They were cuties and a joy to watch. My own cats are old and less active. The only time they get moving it feding time or fighting over a place sit sleep, usually, my chair!
