This is a painting I did for my daughter in law for Christmas. It is a painting of her cat Mishka. (Dont worry he is not allowed out at night) It is an oil on canvas about 400mm by 500mm
Barbara this is stunning…..I love the boldness of the colours. Really wonderful art from you and the expression you have captured on the cat’s face paints a great characterization… :O))
Thanks Arcadia, glad you approve—it was soo time consuming!

Thankyou Sharon—this took ages before Chrissy, worried I wouldn’t get it right—but she likes it!

It’s a gorgeous and beautifully composed portrait, Barbara; you’ve really captured that haughty and slightly devilish look of oriental cats.
