Another El Dagato

[tripete]

I started another cat today. He has a ways to go though.

Thank you for posting your artistic paintings. Thought my painting/art days were behind me already. You give me hope. Thank you for sharing. May blessings abound.

ps How do you get computer photos on site?

Sweet! Reminds me of my late Rhett.

 

[beauty4everyone]

Thanks for sharing. Flipped your painting so others could see it better. Hope that was all right. Cats have such intense ways of looking at things, don't they? Do you paint from memory, live model, or photo?

Do you see similarities in the expressions? I do. Looks as if you caught it very well. B.

B, I know you're trying but your similarities are a stretch to the eyes of Pete's cat.

Pete's cat brings somewhat a curious look. The pictures you posted indicate more
that of a predator focused on prey.

Guess it's in the eyes of the beholder.

i paint from my head with a picture as a start point. i like the curiously wild independant attitude

Greetings, Clearwater Al, Liked your "pun" . I don't understand, "I'm trying?" Help me out, please. B.

Hi, Tripete! Thank you for understanding my attachments. Cats have an underlying wildness about them. It makes them enigmatic. I could almost feel you smiling when you wrote that statement.

Most dogs do not kill things and bring it home to you. Cat's do. It's their nature.

I especially like to look at the BIG cats. They are so beautiful: muscular, streamlined, springy, with an inscrutableness about them.

Dogs are not shy about telling us how they feel.
Cats are subtle about it. Even aloof at times. Except when it's "food" time. They're fun, entertaining, and sweet companions.

As a "fellow" artist, if I'm drawing or painting (acrylics), I like to use a photo/picture to work from, too. I had trouble trying plein air. Too much stuff to carry..

With photography, I use photo- graphs to create the finished print. I do photomorhic art as it's easily available.

I wish I had the opportunity to paint. I was just picking it up after years of not doing anything, when "life" changed my plans. However, as long as I can move , there's always Abstract Art. Lay the canvas on the floor and pour paint on it. If I accidentally fall on it, I can claim I made an "impression" on the art world.

Enjoyed the chat. Do you see any similarities?
