"If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much." ~Mark Twain
"She just couldn't decide between being an artist when she grew up and being a vet. Her mother responded, you don't have to decide sweet girl. you can be both."
Maria these are wonderful! It's so exciting to see another artist's growing abilities because that's what I want to do. The colors are amazing and of course I love the subjects.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lee, that means so much to me, sometimes it seems as though I make no progress at all and your words are so encouraging :)
DeleteMaria your cats are truly lovely. You certainly caught them just right. Thanks for sharing. God Bless You.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Debbie, and i feel like the credit for these goes to the photographer, just LOVE it when people send the PERFECT photo to work from, almost feels like Im cheating!
DeleteWell, if cats could speak, the grey one would definitely would! Both are very beautiful watercolours!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I want to know what that grey kitty would say, I think that is what I love about the cats and dogs and horses, no speaking!

ReplyDeleteThank you Sheri, I loved painting these two, a client of my husbands vet practice, sent me these two wonderful photos to work from, to surprise his wife for her birthday.
