    I really like this painting. It gives me this “at home” feeling. I really like it.

    It feels strange saying, “thanks Redheaded” do you have a first name we could use?

    I love the twisted perspective on the floor! Cool work.

  • BLYTHART

    I started doing the squares and got the perspective wrong on the first one. I realised it sort of jumped out, so I decided to do them all like that to make the floor come alive. Whimsical – that’s me :-)

    Yes, actually my name is Cory. I didn’t really know how this whole thing worked but I think it is safe to say that it will be ok if you know my name. Sorry about that.

    I added this to my favourites. You seem like a very prolific artist. How many paintings do you finish in a week?

    This is such a great site, I’m loving it!

  • BLYTHART

    Hi Jackie,

    Thanks – I don’t finish many in a week at all; I spend too much time on the computer. The reason I have so many is simply that I have been around a lot longer than you have (I’m three years shy of sixty).

    This is definitely children’s book illustration material – I can see why your American friend is encouraging you to illustrate a book – your work is very well suited to illustrations – as opposed to “painterly” fine art. Mind you – I do consider illustration art – some don’t.

    Managed to find a little time to have a look at your kitties! I love this one. The twisted perspective is really unique and those floor squares really pop! Love it, love it, love it!

  • BLYTHART replied

    Many thanks Lisa Marie.

    what i admire about your illustrations is the ability they have to transcend the small screen of my pc – the thumbnails are really clear images in their own right and then, when you go have a look at the bigger image, it just gets better! Fabulous!

  • BLYTHART replied

    Many thanks.

  • Orla Cahill

    Beautiful. Love the way you use pattern and colour in your works. Very creative,

  • BLYTHART replied

    Thanks Orla. From an artist of your ability I value that compliment a lot … thanks.

    very good and iimaginative!! I really like all your work-am just trying Aquerelle and Watercolour-through tril and error I might add…

  • BLYTHART replied

    Trial and error is my method of learning too :)

    I have a cat these same colors-really nice! I love your new profile picture also! hello friend.

  • BLYTHART replied

    Thanks. Jason was amazing. Even after having his leg amputated he could still run and climb.

    Camille is next to me, and says, this looks like Misha ( her most favorite of soft toys). This is really very cute Dave.

  • BLYTHART replied

    It’s a sort of memorial to him. Poor little soul lived the last couple of years of his life with only three legs.

  • Bunny Clarke

    Bunny Clarke

    Beautifully done. Great creation and dedi. :o)

  • BLYTHART replied

    Thanks. We had a bunny rabbit called Tuffy and he would chase Jason everywhere. Tuffy (who was not neutered) apparently had the hots for Jason (who was neutered and wasn’t even a rabbit anyway) but Tuffy’s initial amorous attempts almost scared the fur off Jason :) Yeah … I know … too much information :)
