I've done a few cat portraits recently - one was of Lily, a special hi-bred similar to Siamese, and the other was of 4 cats the family had as family members over the years. Lily's painting required some adjustments to bring the painting into a better likeness of the family cat. Here is the final resulting painting, fully approved by Lily's family.

The other request was for all of the family's cats over the period of a dozen years or more. It is a gift from the eldest child in the family to her youngest sister.

Yesterday I was unwinding from several events and chose to do some very LOOSLY painted watercolors. One is of a male Cardinal in full color. The other two are still in progress - they are field mice. Something a little different from my usual bird/cat paintings!

And here are a few photos taken of birds in the last few days during the cold/snowy weather. Most are bluebirds dealing with the wind. Plus a Junco and a Mockingbird. Enjoy!
