Artist's Comments

The first of two cat-paintings I'm doing for a friend. The second one is here: [link]

I think I really love painting cats, especially if I happen to be acquianted with honourable felines in question. It's fun to try to get some of their characters in it.

I am so glad that you are in love with painting cats because I am in love with SEEING your paintings of cats. I know the last time I said that you capture the "catness" of cats, and I hate to recycle a compliment, but you DO. The eyes in this painting have that bright, round, alert "cat expression" in them. The eyes are so beautiful!

I love this - it's like my cat: black, white and fluffy! Any tips on paintings cats? I've always meant to try and paint mine, but I'm afraid of trying to portray his 'fluffiness'

That catness-compliment makes me smile this goofy mile-wide smile. And glad you paid attention to the eyes; Jesse has such incredible eyes. They are huge and would look awfully alert if he didn't wear that expression _all_the_time_ which makes him look kinda goofy yet all the more adorable. :XD:

Thank you. :)

I think the point about cats is... painting a few cats. :P I think it gets easier every time, just like with humans. If you paint in watercolor, wet-on-wet goes a long way for the fluff, and I make some of the whiskers with sandpaper. Good luck!
