You must post the red-tailed hawk one when they are complete. that sounds amazing. one of my favorite animals.
I love this. he has such a sweet little face.

Thanks! I will definitely post my red tailed hawk when it's done, also my twisted tree landscape that's about to depart from its photo reference dramatically. I think the photo was taken someplace like a park that had a big expanse of mowed lawn, but what I want is a meadow of untended long grass and plants.

I've been studying Ari Cat's sweet little face for eight years now and he does, he has such lovable features. He's the perfect balance between short muzzled Persian types and long muzzled Siamese, he's an Applehead with a perfect cat face.

I've had cats all through my childhood. never got to paint any of them though. I really miss having cats.

Oh, I went out of my mind during the sad years when I was catless. I would not want to live without at least one cat again, I love them way too much. I started spending more time drawing and photographing them on getting Ari though, since I got a little webcam the day before I got him! So I took photo references and my cat sketches started looking more like the real Ari. Since then I've sketched him a lot and now have done a good oil portrait. I've got a good pastel portrait of him too that's not for sale ( ... )
