"Portrait" of Princess and Smidgin - just posted a photo of my painting
I have been taking oil painting lessons for 3 years. My idea when I started
was to have something special to look forward to when I reach retirement and not become a "couch potato." I soon found that I love painting "right now." I just finished my first attempt at painting cats. I looked through various albums posted on these newsgroups, and I found a photo on Megan's site that I really like. She helped me a lot when I adopted Duffy, so I contacted her and got her permission to use her photo as a guide. 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). -- MaryL (take out the litter to reply) Photos of Holly and Duffy: http://tinyurl.com/8y54 (introducing Duffy to Holly) http://tinyurl.com/8y56 (Duffy and Holly "settle in") |

Thanks for sharing it. -- Cheryl "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do." - Helen Keller [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. |

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 |

MaryL Hi Mary, I think it's a great picture......I have no abilities for things like that myself, so, I give major kudos to you for being able to do it. Beautiful picture Mary, just beautiful... That's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it! Carrie |
