Those left me speechless. You have AMAZING talent!!! I love them all. Especially that last one. The ambition in his eyes is amazing. I'm so amazed that you caught that!!!

They are just beautiful! You have an amazing talent.

Have you ever made a portrait of a cat or do you only specialise in dogs?

Gorgeous work! You seem to capture their character as well as their beauty.

Thanks all

Lilith Cherry - I do alsorts of creatures but I only posted dogs here with it being a dog forum. I don't get asked for many cats and have only done a few. I have only ever done two cat commissions and one of them was when I was still at school aged 15. The other one was also quite some years ago. I've painted a couple for my own portfolio and I also did a small one years ago of a cat of our own who had to be pts because of feline infectious peritonitis. One was quite recent after I sold the other last spring in a gallery.
Here they are anyway. The tabby close-up was painted some years ago and that was the one which sold. As I had no cats left in my portfolio, I decided to add another. A black one this time. I made it interesting by giving it a black background. I love that mysterious look you get from black cats.
Here they are:

I've also done some big cats. I was working on a snow leopard before a commission suddenly came in with an imminent deadline, another dog lol, so the snow leopard is currently on hold.

Oh thanks for showing them to us! I have both cats and dogs so I just wondered. You are a terrific artist!

Maybe you should post a thread in the Marketplace forum here on Pet Talk for anyone interested in buying a painting from you.

Those are just awesome. My husband Dan is an artist too... and I'm sure he will love to see these. I will make sure that I show him when i am logged on next. Do you mind me asking... what or how did you capture the image for posting. He uses a Canon 40D at work and I know he spends a lot of time on White Balancing. I love your shots, but I'll bet they are EVEN better in real life colors!!!
