  1. 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.

    1. Not 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!

    1. Thank you Pat, some just come easier than others, do you find that with your painting days? Some just flow and others seem to be a bit of a struggle ?!

    1. Thank 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. It was such a pleasure to work from these pictures, great lights and darks. Look forward to seeing your cat paintings!
