Result: I have posted a photo of my first cat "portrait" on
alt.binaries.pictures.animals. It is under the title "Princess and
Smidgin." I enjoyed my first effort and thought I would share it with
you (and am cross-posting to the 3 groups I read most often).


Mary, that painting is awesome[1] and so lifelike! Thanks for sharing it.

[1] When I use the word awesome, I'm often reminded of something my dad
said one time and he used the word awful in a way that shocked me because I
had never heard it in that context before. He said the word awful means
"full of awe". In that way, awesome seems that it should mean "some awe".
lol Seriously, though, your painting is beautiful.
