Something different today...  my Layla kitty.

A little birdie told me my paintings will be featured on emptyeasel.com this week...  Perhaps that will bring new blog visitors which is always fun.  Yay!

    I think you really captured your kitty's personality with this one, which is amazing since it's a veiw from behind. She looks like a sweet cat. And I love the dashes of bold red here and there!

    This reads really well in the abstract, as well as literally. Nice composition.

    I've been looking at this painting for a few minutes now, and I just can't seem to spit out why I like it so much. You've really captured a feline feeling here, Di. Nice work.

    You sure captured her cattitude! I love the soft stripes on her left side - and her profile!

    Lovely painting, I like the warm colour of the background and the dry brush marks at the bottom.
    The tabby markings on the kitty are lovely - looks a bit like the cat I've just adopted!
