Your blog is really interesting and inspirational - I shall visit you often. As others have already said, your colouring on the images is beautiful. I used to paint pet portraits when I first started to make a living from my art...I found it quite stressful as the pet owners wated to see, not just the likeness of their pet, but also its' personality, in the painting. I usually got it right, but it was always a scary moment when I did the big "reveal"! We also share a love of cats and nature, looking at your photographs. All the best to you, Lindsay xLindsay Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501976680558857975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157945799061174429.post-29444624320651542952009-03-18T11:05:00.000+00:002009-03-18T11:05:00.000+00:00Lori, thank you!
