Oil on museum quality ampersand gessobord panel 8" x 10"The cat formerly known as Dino (before we realized he was a she) is part of the rat pack of kittens we adopted last spring. She has turned into a real love and is quite smitten with JJ. She dogs his every waking (and sleeping) moment, much to his consternation. I call her Ella because she reminds me of the paintings in Robert Motherwell's Elegy series. I fear we will never be able to have flowers inside again because the rat pack seek and destroy any flora (and small fauna, i dare say) that comes into the house. Ella got a chance to check these pretty hydrangeas out before the tempting bouquet was sequestered in the powder room for the night.

Thanks, Arcobaleno. xoxo back at you.
Thank you, Colette. I have new respect for floral painters. I don't think I'll be painting hydrangeas again - too much work!
Oh how lovely!!!! This touched my heart :O)
Your comment made my night. Thanks, Teresa.
Awww, she's beautiful! I love the textural contrast here between the smoothness of the cat's fur and the petals of the flowers! And her eyes - wow! Love your work, Mark!
I've been offline. Love this great likeness of your beautiful Ella. So glad you're back.
It looks like a photo! Your work is so good!
Thanks, Deb. Glad you're back too {;-)>
Thanks, Susan. You are seeing the remnants of my photo-realist past. I'm trying to shake it but it keeps coming to the surface.
Mark!
Cats and flowers....what's not to love!
Ella's face is gorgeous! This almost looks photorealistic in certain parts.
Just great!

Thanks, Dean. Shortening the depth of field gives that "photo-real" impression.
Hey Marko,
Glad to see you back at the easel.
Debby R.
Thanks, Debby
Ella's quite a looker; what a lovely painting of her with the colorful bouquet!
Thanks, Diana. She is sweetness itself but mischievous. We had to lock the bouquet in the bathroom or the blossoms would have been strewn around the house.
