Eyes of Billy

Size: 11×14 inches
Medium: Acrylic
Support: Stretched canvas

This is Billy. He has the most amazing eyes. We adopted him about three years ago. For some reason, he had no undercoat. All he had was just a single layer of rough topcoat. His doctor thought that he had some kind of allergy that prevented him from absorbing nutrients.

He now has both undercoat and topcoat and gained a lot of weight. Yes, he is one healthy, happy guy!

Eyes of Billy belongs to the following groups:

Animal Kingdom, Domestic and Pedigree Cats, Fine Arts, For the Love of Cats , 1 image a day , Realist Traditional Art, Tabby Time ~ 3 per day and Wildlife and Pet Paintings Available for sale as

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

    oh my goodness another amazing portrait. amazing. You should publish a book of your wonderful cat paintings. I would be the first to buy it. You could always create a book yourself using Blurb. I did this with my animal photos and the results are stunning. :))

  • artbyakiko replied

    Thank you so much ApeArt!! Sounds like a great idea. I will check into that. :)
