The Guardian by Anni Morris by Anni Morris

Very awesome painting Annie, cats do have such characters and personalities and flowers are so colourful and splendid :-) you have combined the two excellently.

I love this painting! The composition, colours everything! The cats expression is priceless : )

Thanks rebecca. I started this painting years ago and I picked it up a short while ago and brushed off the dust...and finished it at long last. It was table top garden...not armchair, and I could 'plant' anything with my brush...which was fun. Kind regards Anni :) www.annimorris.com

Glad you like it Wyndham and thanks for taking the time to comment. Yes the cat has rather a 'human' face hasn't he? Just recently I have been reading a book about the famous cat artist Louis Wain, it is an amazing book and definitely worth a read. Kind regards A ni www.annimorris.com

Lovely composition, I especially like the detail in the curtain :)

Hi Sarah, Funny thing about that curtain. I started panting this picture 10 years ago and had a sample of curtain fabric I was using as a prop. Ten years on I had only painted half of the curtain and the sample of fabric was lost, so I had to reinvent the rest of it. I liked painting all the little leaves and petals. Many thanks Sarah. www.annimorris.com

Lovely picture Anni, I love your curtain too!

Love this Anni - great style.

Very effective painting of two of my favourite subjects too.

Love your style, such a lot of super interest here I could look at it for ages :)

Thanks Carole, for looking. Hope you are keeping well and creating lots of paintings? Kind regards Anni www.annimorris.com

Thanks Julie for your comment. You know I never really knew I gig have a style...huess often we don't notice our own. Kind regards ~ Anni www.annimorris.com

Hello Glennis, Yes our bliss huh? Cats and flowers are always enjoyable subjects to paint. Even managed to squeeze in more flowers in the curtain. ~ Kind regards Anni www.annimorris.com

congratulations on this image being chosen for the month of September :-) really awesome :-)

Thanks rebecca for alerting me to that, what a thrill :) That's put a smile on my face, much appreciated. Best regards ~ Anni

Well done Anni, for being a September Star!

Hello Carole, Thanks very much, it was a very pleasant surprise.

love the colours and patterns and your cat has so much charm

Hi Jenny, Thanks for such a lovely comment. I think all cats have such distinct personalities don't you? My cat Sam thinks he is human, each morning at breakfast he sits next to me and expects porridge when I have mine. I do indulge him and now it is an expectation. Kind regards ~ Anni Morris

Love the details, the matching colours and the look in the cat's eyes! It's hipnotic :))

A lovely cat - such expression.

Wow, I really like this !

Annie...I'm a fan of your work, but I missed this...Love it!! You have such a great sense of design. in everything you do.

That is a sweet comment dear Ruth thanks so much. I love to talk art so please feel free to email me anytime, if you google my website www.annimorris.com there is a link to my primary email address. I was fortunate that this one sold before the exhibition opened to the public and was bought by one of the staff who worked for the sponsor company of the exhibition. How is your art work and things creative going? Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ~ Fond regards Anni

Thanks so much Julie fr stopping by the comment on this painting, much appreciated. Apologies for not answering you sooner, the year has flown. Best wishes to you and yours at this special time of the year ~ Anni

Thanks so much Carole, apologies for such a late response. I trust you are continuing to enjoy your own painting. I wonder what is in the pipeline at the moment? Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year ~ Anni

Dear Cristina, Thank you for looking and comment on this painting. I am glad you like his eyes, he looks rather human...there again many cats have that trait. I know my own cat always prefers using the real door to the cat door. Much appreciated ~ Fond regards Anni

Thank you Sue, It is amazing how many expressions you can catch on a cat's face isn't it? Best wishes for Christmas ~ Anni

Thanks very much Tony I am glad you like this painting, much appreciated ~ Anni
