Day 29 - Painted black garden cat

[vilakins]

This is another cat I bought at a charity second-hand fair. Greg didn't like her much because of all the flowers painted on her but I thought she'd look lovely outside. She sits by a terracotta pot on one of the decks, shaded by trees. I did her in isolation though because she's so fancy, and she was hard to draw with her features obscured by her blackness and the floral painting. Done in GIMP.

Oh, I do love that. I want it for my garden ;)

The garden is the perfect place for her and she looks lovely and happy in her setting. There are other cats nearby too for company: a terracotta mother and two kittens (found in the garden when we moved in) and a "looking cat" on the railing, also bought at a fair. :-)

And awww, dear little kitten in a sunhat!

I love this drawing--so sweet. I love the flowers and the lovely expression.

Thanks! She's a sweet cat and I like seeing her out there. :-)

Ohhh, such a sweet sad kitty!She looks so pleadingly...these lovely blue eyes.
And, haha, she reminds me of a small girl in a posh satin gown.:-)

Lovely! She looks so sweet.

She's very happy in her garden. I'm glad I could give her a home. :-)

Contrary to what people might think, I'm picky about the cats I buy. I thought she was very sweet too so I snapped her up.

Tashi just leaned over my shoulder, saw this picture and said "Urschoen!" She was dead impressed when I told her you'd painted it yourself.

Danke sehr, Tashi! :-D

She's beautiful! And beautifully drawn. :o)

That's a beautiful cat! And I bet your painting makes her even more beautiful than she is.

I like that.

Thanks! Because she was a hard one to get the shadows and highlights on.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks! The shadows and highlights were hard because of her colouring and I'm still not totally happy with it.
