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.

Oooh, me too? Please? I don't have binary groups either, and I'd love to
see it!

I'll be glad to ... and also for anyone else who wants it. If others want a
copy, just send email to the address attached to this message (but remember
to "take out the litter" first). I always send low resolution photos by
email. If they are too small, let me know and I'll send the high resolution
copy.

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

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!

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).

I got it - thank you! I could see it just fine, and think it's
gorgeous. You have quite a talent!

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!
