That's lovely, I really like the way he's emerging from the mist!

😯 Barry what a cutie. Quick! That's amazing!

Fabulous.

How beautiful..

Super Diana, can say no more !

Thanks again for taking the time to look at and comment on my work. There’s one advantage to painting animals. You can’t spend too long and start fiddling!! Thank you Heather. He was sitting on a draining board but is an enormous ball of fur. Thank you Faye. I haven’t drawn or painted him for quite a while. Thank you Chris and Sylvia. It was a fun two hours. He kept remarkably still. Thanks again Richard and Paul. He’s a very handsome cat

So lovely Diana.

That is superb!!

This beautiful- such a gorgeous subject

Thank you Denise. He’s a good life model! Thanks David. Fun way to fill s couple of hours. Thanks Rachel. I might keep this one

I mean, I might have it framed to keep for when the cat is no longer with us That’s unless he outlives me 😂

He is gorgeous! Glad he was a good sitter for you. I love the way you have developed the background around him.

So effective Diana.

Barry is a fabulous name. And a gorgeous portrait too - love the whiskers!

Full of soul I love the look of mischief in the eyes and face

Love how Barry breaks through the surrounding fog and looks quite bewildered. Lovely work Diana.

Such a character Diana, great job!

Fantastic work

I love your ‘subdued colours Diana, you create magic! Beautiful..

Thank you Spencer. In truth, I was lazy with the background 😂 Thank you Fiona. I didn’t feel the passion with this one , despite loving the animal so much. Thank you Sarah. He has a ridiculously pedigree name so we chose something completely down to earth. Thank you Nigel. His main interest is food😂 Thank you Carole. I was being lazy with the background as it was only a wall. He was on the draining board.

Thank you Linda. He’s a big soft giant. Thanks Alan. He was a reject and returned to the breeder so I took him Thank you Sandra. His right eye was in shadow so hadn’t got those typical bright cat eyes. Thank you Romila. He sat patiently waiting for his lunch 😂 Thank you Carole. I still struggle with paint strength on first washes and colour mixing. Two areas I need more practice with.

Great little portrait Diana, something has caught his eye.

This is stunning! Love how you have painted Barry

Lovely work as ever Diana.

Beautiful, Diana!

Thanks Stephen. I had to keep holding a toy mouse above him 😂 Thank you again Anne. I really appreciate it. I probably say that every time but I really do ! Hello Jim and thanks for look g at big Baz 😂 Thank you Thalia. I might try him with a body another time !
