Hi everyone,
I just had to share this, as its simply wonderful :)
This portrait was done by Gillian, and I'm completely blown away by it, its just stunning ;D
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y243/Klareyka/MaxPortrait.jpg)
I can't wait to hang this in my lounge, and it will most certainly take pride of place as a fantastic tribute to Mr Max.
Thank you again so much Gillian, I'm just thrilled :hug: :hug:
So you can all see just how great this is, here's the original photo :Luv2:

that is fantastic!!! I've been looking forward to seeing this, I love Gillian's work!!
-
That's wonderful Clare (and Gillian). What a great way to memorialise you lovely boy ... :Luv2:
-
That is simply beautiful <3
Gillian your work is amazing xx
-
Gorgeous :Luv:
-
That's lovely :Luv2:
-
Stunning artwork. :) :Luv: (Course it helps when the subject was such a handsome boy....)
-
That's amazing Clare! Considering all black cats look very similar ie no distinctive marking as they're just one colour, I could tell instantly that was Max :Luv:
:1st place: Gillian
-
that's what I though Helen, photographing our bridge boy Bluto was impossible so I really wondered how a drawing would work but it is brilliant - I should have known, if she can draw Amber she can draw anyone!
-
Aw Clare - I bet you're in tears :hug: :hug:
That really is Max. Once again Gillian has captured another of our dear friends.
A fantastic work of art Gillian, well done.

-
That is just fantastic! :Luv2:
-
Aw Clare - I bet you're in tears :hug: :hug:
I was when I saw it, as its captured the essence of my boy so wonderfully, its the eyes more than anything, they are just so true to life :Luv2:
-
Thats just purrrrrrfect ;D
-
BEAUTIFUL. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
Handsome boy!!!! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

He's absolutely fine thank you hun :Luv:
I've been trying to get some good piccies, but he's such a cuddlebum these days, he spends most evenings curled up on my lap and not playing with his copious amounts of toys :evillaugh:
I've got one or two, but want to get a good few more of him with his new play cube, so will try over the next couple of evenings. Its so hard as its dark by the time I get home, and the flash just doens't get good photos of his eyes :doh:
He wants to look his best for his girlfriend Tulip you see :Luv:
-
If anyone else wants to add their portraits on here, feel free!
I think Gillian deserves a million thank-you's for creating such beautiful pieces of our babes :Luv2:
-
Thats just gorgeous Clare! :Luv2: :hug: :hug:
Amazing Gillian! :wow: :hug:
-
:thanks:

It was difficult with his eyes because of the flash taking away a lot of detail - so I'm glad you think I've captured those well - so important for the eyes to be right. :hug:

I shouldn't have "favourites" but I have to say, I have a real soft spot for Poot. :Luv: :Luv: - and Tulip thinks he's a real stud muffin!! :Luv2: :Luv2:
I have just met with a local cat who reminds me of Poot. He is EXTREMELY long with similar colouring and SO friendly! He follows me home demanding attention and then sits in the garden gazing up at Tulip and mewing at her through the window!! It is like a scene from "Romeo & Juliet"!!!! :rofl: :rofl: He is such a long cat that I can quite understand why there are sightings of "Big Cats"!!
Tell me more about the play cube. Miss Tulip does get bored with her toys very quickly and I am constantly looking out for something new for her.
Big love,
Sparklecat and Tulip

Have a looky at the shop link on here, you get 2 cubes for about £5 I think, and they're very cool ;D
I would put up the linky, but am only diving on for a quick work break whilst on a looooong phone call yawn :evillaugh:

I love the fact that everyone loved my boy :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
Love your pic Gill :hug: :Luv:

He was so easy to love Clare. I know how you feel cos although nobody met Smudge as he was missing when I joined over 2 years ago - everyone took to him. Mind you I did go mad with pics :rofl: :Luv2:
Mary
-
Mary - smudge is quite like our bridge babe Bluto but he had slightly bigger ears
Gill - that is very good, don't think I've seen it before
-
I think you've said that before Dawn :Luv2: :hug:
Clare now I've looked at the photo and Gill's portrait I see Max even more - I'm crying now. :Luv2: :hug:
Mary

I'm very sure both are pride of place :)
