As a kitty with candy striped legs
you arrived swiftly into my heart.
Sixteen years later and my heart still
smiles with each new day we share.
One of these days I will count how many paintings I have done of my litte Miss Biscuit. I never, ever, get tired of painting her. With each new piece, I can only hope to add more of her amazing spirit to this world.
OK, I really thought this was a photo until I looked closer, Sandy! How great to have such a loyal friend and to be able to capture memories of her this way.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I love Miss Biscuit, and I can see why you never tire of painting her. It was a treat to come upon your name on a another's blog, because it has been a while since I visited your site due to a busy summer. Sandy, such beautiful work! Thanks for sharing Miss Biscuit with us.
ReplyDeleteAwww...I smiled when I saw this painting on my Dashboard feed! Miss Biscuit is always so lovely in your paintings, and I certainly never tire of seeing your interpretations of her :).
ReplyDeleteYour painting reminds me of how blessed we are to have our beloved feline companions in our lives.
Such a fabulous portrait of a gorgeous girl!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty kitty. Fabulous painting of Miss Biscuit! My childhood kitty is still hanging in there. Casey is a fierce 18 year old red head. He is still with my Mom and he's still as spry as when he was a kitten. Lovely post:)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see you at work, Sandy!! This is an outstanding piece. She is beautiful!. I've said it before but you are so incredibly talented!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet sweet kitty kat....you captured her soul in those eyes.....just beautiful..........
ReplyDeleteThis is a photo, right? Right? It is, isn't it? But your label says it's a pastel... Are you SURE you haven't posted the photo by mistake???
ReplyDeleteAre you absolutely positive???
Unbelievable!!!! :0D

Dear Hilda, you are so generous with your compliments. Thank you so much!!
Cynthia, Thank you so much - Miss B has the most gorgeous eyes and for me it's always fun, yet a challenge, to try to portray them as beautiful as they really are.
Sandra, haha! You're funny. Yep, I'm sure, I have the dusty fingers to prove it :).
This is a beautiful painting, the eyes are so beautifully lifelike painted. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful.
