Title: Leo a portrait of my one of my lovely puss cats!! Thanks Gillian
Post by: Canterbury_cats (Sharon) on November 11, 2008, 18:01:41 PM
I have been eagerly anticipating this.. but after the okay from Gillian, here is the final (but not completely ready to hang up yet) portrait of Leo that i won in last years Purrs Auction.. I am smitten with this and it will take pride of place with my tiger paintings and along side another portrait of Bella that is due as well...

Thanks Gillian.. you certaintly know how to catch the grace and mischief of a siamese..

And this himself... !

With his eyes closed as usual then Sharon?!!  ;)

Sharon gave me lots of great pics to work from, but very few of them had Leo with his eyes open - and even then, not open wide - so went with the 'Leo Look' as it were LOL! She has had to wait nearly a year for this  :innocent: - well it hasnt been a very good year with many worries. So pleased you like it Sharon.

That is fabulous Gillian, beautiful work  :Luv:

I may be interested in getting a portrait of my boy Max, can you drop me a pm at some point with a note of your charges, and whether of course its possible to do a good pic of a pure black cat  :)

I'm not in a rush but it would be nice!  and I'd rather give the money to a purrs peep than not so she'd better start the waiting list!!  I think Amber is going to be the hardest my other three all sit still for photos for a start and are more, lets say, conventional looking!

Gillian has now finished my picture of Amber - it is fantastic but I'm an imbecile who has no idea how to add it to this thread - just wanted those of you who are thinking of getting her to do a picture for you that I am another satisfied customer - the pictures she had to work from were awful as well!
Title: Re: Leo a portrait of my one of my lovely puss cats!! Thanks Gillian
Post by: Gillian Harvey on November 28, 2008, 15:51:53 PM
