The photo for this kitten was quite dark, I used the enhance on my iPad and even then painted in more light.  My favourite part is the nose...I always really enjoy painting a kitten.

This is a kitten that is up for adoption at our local cat rescue.  I grew up with siamese cats so I have a true fondness for them. Ceaser was our first, then Zorka and finally Samantha or Sam for short, were a big part of our family.  I remember so vividly the sound of the siamese meow, much like a baby crying.

You have heard the saying less is more, well I am definitely a more is more, that is when it comes to painting.  I have been painting just about everyday for two months experimenting and trying new things. Try as I might to use fewer strokes I always end up getting carried away with my paint brush.  I will think my painting is finished, sign it and then go back and add more paint.  Interestingly some of my favourite artists are those who are very thoughtful about their brushwork and use not many strokes.  I guess this is the beauty of creativity, we are all different.

This little girl was sitting on a scale waiting to be weighed,.  Barb at the cat rescue likes to keep track of  the progress of the tiny kittens that come in.  Her head is so large compared to her tiny little kitten body.

This is my sisters cat Polly, she is 15 yrs old.  She was a real challenge to paint…black again always tricky for me.

I am always a little tentative when starting a new painting.  Then the painting goes through the really ugly stage when I just want to wipe it, and then with a few more strokes there is a glimmer of hope and I carry on to completion and voila we have a kitten.
