Bootsie gets Today's Best on Zazzle!

I forgot to report this FABULOUS news...my painting of Bootsie titled "Those Eyes" received a Today's Best award on Zazzle yesterday! How exciting! (and Bootsie certainly deserves it!)

Cat Painting #7, Those Eyes

Bootsie has beautiful eyes. I guess that's what got her in trouble. They're so big, and they glow like diamonds in the night. During her many evenings out on the town, she must have batted those beauties at some handsome male feline who said "Ooohlala, she's the one!". Six weeks later, she brought three gorgeous grandkittens to the house. Chest all puffed out and sitting proud, she looked at me with tired eyes and asked me to take over feeding them. Eyes...they'll get you in trouble sometimes. :)

This is painting #7 in my 365 Cat Paintings series and it's for sale here:

Those Eyes, oil pastel on board, size 8x10" $100

I think she likes it!

She's smiling!

Cat Painting #7 in progress

Here's today's painting in progress. I believe I'll call this one "Those Eyes". This is Momma Bootsie, the mother to our three kittens (sorry, I know they are cats now...but we still call them the kittens!). I'm not sure if I'll have this painting photographed and online until tomorrow, as I've gotten sidetracked with my dog and his leg injury today (not serious I hope) and I'm trying to avoid a vet bill. In addition to getting sidetracked, I've been spending a lot of time on Bootsie's face/eyes - that's the focal part of this painting and it must be perfect. :) I'll probably finish it today, but if it's after dark, I won't be able to photo it until tomorrow. We'll see how it goes!

In the meantime, please stop by and check out my new website for my paintings at http://www.GalleryJai.Com! I worked on it all afternoon and into the night last night. I hope it will serve as a good showcase for my work.
