Aww, gee guys, thanks! I am a full time artist and am just thrilled that you all appreciate it!!! I've been trying to get my boys done for months but haven't had the time. I really wanted to make the cats my first portrait f the year.

I mostly do babies - I myself never have had children and never will, though I have 3 stepteens. I LOVE drawing babies... both human and animal. The texture is completely different for each and I like the variety of doing one baby and then a portrait of a pet. It keeps my days interesting. There are times that I can't believe that I get to sit at home and draw all day long, and wonder why on Earth I ever spent the past ten years working 40 hours for design firms! (My previous life was that of an interior designer and I was drowning in stress and tired of feeling as if I was wasting myself.)

Thank you again! I'll post more images if you don't mind.. I have a few others to do before I can do personal ones - I'm dying to draw them in color.
