Acrylic painting on stretched boxed canvas
Size 10” x 10”

    OH I just hate when they do that…precious.they steal a bite out of of our heart and take it with them!

    Hi Dalzenia , Yes it is always a worry with pets isn’t it? Some seem to have a better road sense than others though.

    Aw. Lovely job Anni. Milo looks a bit like my cat, Harley, but Harley has greenish/gold eyes and is probably fatter ;)

  • Anni Morris replied

    Many thanks Lynnette…where would we be without our furry friends? ~ Anni :)

    Lovely colours, love those patterns contrasting to the sweet cat. Sorry to hear :-(

    I sooo love ginger cats! Have one at home myself, named Lucky. I love this painting Anni, great colours and the expression on the cat’s face, like he’s just been caught out at something… Sad to hear about his demise, we had exactly the same thing happen to a much loved ginger cat at about the same age.

  • Anni Morris replied

    Hi Lyn, I suppose it is a risk we just live with…they are such adorable companions. Thanks for viewing and your comments ~ Hugs Anni :)

    king of the house-had them ,some times they,d let me enjoy them , but only on thier terms

  • Anni Morris replied

    Hi madvlad, yes they can be very single minded. When I have offended my present cat..(not shown him enough attention, or fed him enough) he turns and sits with his back to me! ~ Anni :)

    love the way you have caught the light in his eyes…....bravo for Milo!!!

  • Anni Morris replied

    Hi Shylie, yes those little white paint marks light up the eyes and make them come alive. I always reserve that bit till last…finishing touch. Thank you ;) ~ Anni

    ooh beautiful Milo, how sad…you’ve really captured his essence, i love his eyes, and bulk…. the beautiful curtains he’s peep through, give this painting a very richly textured feel… :) xx

  • Anni Morris replied

    Thanks Karin, I was counting how many cats I have had in my life the otherday…they do add up. Guess I’ll get to meet them all one day again :) ~ Anni xxx

    this is a vibrant and beautiful piece of art…... beneath those curtains is the sadness you feel ( and I can feel it too) with the loss of your little friend, but this image is indeed a happy celebration of what you shared…..

  • Anni Morris replied

    What a lovely comment Wendy, thank you.~ Anni :)

    Oh what a beauty Milo was! So sad to hear of his tragically short life, it is so sad when they are with us for such a short time. My dear Mr. D’arcy was not quite two when he met the same fate :(
    Beautiful painting Annie!

  • Anni Morris replied

    Thank you Alexandra, sorry to hear about your cat :( I love painting them, they have such a range of personalities ~ Anni :) x

    What a great way to handle this portrait of Milo. Those quilted sides really make his likeness stand out. Too bad about his accident. But you’ve done a fine job of remembering him. Cheers! TPS

  • Anni Morris replied

    Thanks paintedsoul, yes we try and keep them safe don’t we? ~ Anni :)

    How terribly sad. We have had six cats so far, including our current two. They feature in my work occasionally. Of the six cats, Snarfe and Tom disappeared (years apart). I like to think they were adopted by some poor old lonely person, but …. who knows.

  • Anni Morris replied

    Yes, always sad to lose a pet. I suppose when they don’t return you still have hope. Let’s hope yours were adopted by some kind and lonely soul. I found poor Milo in the gutter a day latter. He was given a decent burial and still lives on in our memories ~ Anni :)

    i love cats so much . this is wonderful image. you have done very well in such a small canvas Anni

  • Anni Morris replied

    Hello Hidemi, Yes it is a challenge with a small canvas…I am about to paint 6 small canvases for an exhibition just before Christmas. The upside is they are easier to package ;) ~ Anni

  • Hidemi Tada

    Hidemi Tada

    its a good idea Anni, and i m also thinking same. paint in small canvas is easy to pack and easy to sell. i am now painting on 35×27cm and 7×9 inch. i can’t paint in begi canvas any more, because i cant buy them . here too expensive and also i know nobody want to buy such a big painting here. so i am doing on small size too.
