I purr therefore I am.

This post is for cat lovers and those who enjoy playing with watercolour.

My model is Fizzy who recently departed this world for further feline adventures:)

A cat can be a good friend and true loss. I really like the way your watercolor came out 🙂

I am a keen fan of cats so it was nice to see you creating one in paint, and full of energy as always, whatever feline playground he occupies himself on now 🙂

Oh Janet, I’m so sorry about Frizzy. Such a beautiful kitty. You captured so much personality and cat-itude in those portraits. I love them.

Hi Teagan….Fizzy belonged to very good friends, and although she had a very kittenish appearance she was twenty years old! In other words she had a good innings….and I am quite sure is blissfully happy in Kitty Kat Heaven. xx
