Hi, would you be willing to email it to me? I can't access the
binaries
ng
that you've posted it in, it's blocked by the firewall here at
work....if
you could, I'd appreciate it, as I'd LOVE to see it. My mom has been
doing
a
lot of oil paintings of birds, and I'm getting quite an appreciation
for
the
art...

Thanks,
Carrie



Sure, I'll be happy to email the photo to you. I'll do it later this
evening. Just remember that I'm an amateur and this is my first
attempt
at
painting cats.

Mary, the painting trully *is* awesome!

Thanks. I had never painted until I signed up with lessons from a local
artist 3 years ago, but I always had a desire to do it *someday.* I was
fortunate to find an instructor who is very skilled but who is also a
great
teacher -- I have never heard her say a negative thing to anyone, but she
always finds a way to bring out the best in people. I get genuine
pleasure
from this.

And since this is a cats group: some of us talk about positive
reinforcement for cats. It obviously carries over to humans, too!

Amen! I have started painting animals on rocks... maybe I'll post some
pics. But, larger portraits take much more talent and you have it!
