Kay: Henry, the cat, came out superb! You somehow managed to capture his personality in this painting - I LOVE IT!

 

[KreativeK]

Great! I didn't know it was named Henry. A beautiful baby indeed!

 

[CaliAnn]

I didn't know it was named Henry. A beautiful baby indeed!

Henry was my last foster who just got adopted out. I foster FIV+ (feline immunodeficiency virus positive) cats, since my resident cat is also FIV+. I wanted to keep him, but he didn't get along with my cat. They are hard cats to get adopted. The couple who adopted him recently lost their own fiv+ cat a few months back - he lived to 18. My vet hooked us up. Although I was sad I couldn't keep him, the couple are wonderful people who understand and can care for such a cat. Henry is simply a fabulous cat, sweet as can be, with just the right amount of catitude!

 

[KreativeK]

Awww, bless you for being a foster mom! My first studio kitty was Jezebel, Siamese, who was also FIV+. She lived to a ripe old age of 19, had a stroke, became blind but still going strong. I found an oral cavity tumor and took her to be checked and she had to be euthanized; probably was in pain from that for awhile.

Kay Your kitty is fabulous!

 

[KreativeK]

Thanks Deborah!

 

[Jo Castillo]

Wow, Kay. Beautiful Henry!

I worked on the fish. I get in too much of a hurry I think but it was "almost" fun. Watercolor in a Canson watercolor sketchbook that is 8 x 12 inches.

Jo: He came out awesome! He really looks like he's swimming in water - the motion is so beautifully rendered and colors are so alive! I say, frame and hang!

 

[Jo Castillo]

Thanks, CaliAnn, I'm smiling now.

 

[KreativeK]

Jo, you're getting there. Love your fish!

 

[Jo Castillo]
