Cherry blossoms colored this session....about 2.5 hours....tough session, I was a bit dehydrated going in and did not feel good, but, toughed it out to complete the blossoms. Perhaps one more session, work to do on the head still and a few other bits....go in again week after next....but I am so amazingly pleased with it!!!!

Announcing the winner of the pet portrait give-away!

The second annual Bronte Memorial Valentine's Day pet portrait give-away took place this afternoon, despite a tough start to the day losing my cat Oscar. 

I started out by writing all the names of the entrants on slips of paper, and then crumpled each piece and place them in a bowl.  My cat Jackson heard me crumpling paper, and was immediately interested....he loves to play with paper balls.....



He then had to get up on the table.....my black and white cat Deck soon followed....it was a struggle to keep them from running away with the entrants....



Then it was time to head into the studio.....and I had a following.....

 

Jackson was the most interested at first, and I thought he would get the winning paper ball...

   

But.....it was once again my little black cat Poe who grabbed the winner, as he did last year....

   

       And Poe says the winner of the 16x20 pet portrait is......Brenda Rion!!!

And because we had so much participation....I decided to do a draw for second place, that person to receive a custom pet rock portrait....

  

  As my former Forgotten Felines black cat Charles looks on, it was my big boy and also former Forgotten Felines cat Deck who pulled it out this time, and the winner of the pet rock portrait is Kathryn Leber!!

 

Obviously, choosing the second place winner took a lot out of him....and he had to stretch out for a while....

There was still a lot of interest in the bowl of paper balls throughout the afternoon....I will be finding them all over my studio for weeks now...it does not take much to amuse my crew....

 

  





But finally....things got a little boring and it was time to take care of more pressing business....



So, the second annual Bronte Memorial Valentine's Day pet portrait give-away comes to a close.....congrats to the winners, and a big thank you to all who participated and helped out the cats of Forgotten Felines!!!  You are ALL winners!!!    And stay tuned for pictures of the portraits when I finish them!

Oscar is gone...

I adopted Oscar from a breeder friend back in 2001...he was the brother of the first oriental shorthair cat I got from them, dear Maya, and the father of my cat Pearl who I lost last spring. Such a fun big boy he was....I will miss him....it never gets easier losing them...

pet portrait give-away!!

Time for the second annual Bronte Memorial Valentine's Day Give-Away!!  Dedicated to the memory of a rescue of my own, Bronte, a sweet tortie that passed away in 2009,  I wanted to create something good in her memory, hence, the annual Bronte Memorial Valentine's Day Give-away. I can’t think of a better way to honor her than to help other cats in need.  The Give-Away is a 16x20 custom pet portrait in oils, subject your choice, and the lucky winner is chosen at noon on Valentine's Day!

For more info on how to get in on the give-away and help cats in need, please email me at tracey@tagscats.com
