I've had two myself and they were both lovely. Never gave me a bit of bad luck.;) Black subjects are so difficult to paint! I'll be testing some colors before I get started so I can put some life into her black fur.Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37200829.post-42496102117353525372014-04-06T11:21:03.532-07:002014-04-06T11:21:03.532-07:00I so look forward to seeing your result.

She was such a special cat to me.Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37200829.post-47485951519355234312014-04-05T17:26:58.395-07:002014-04-05T17:26:58.395-07:00I know you'll make a beautiful tribute to Rave...I know you'll make a beautiful tribute to Raven. There is something healing in the process of painting the image of a lost pet. It just feels right and seems to put things to rest.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.com
