I thought that might get your attention.
Actually, it's cats for Brandy. I met Brandy in one of my classes, and we were instant friends. This happens more often that you would guess. Brandy is the ultimate cat lady, but a sane one.
She later commissioned me to do three cats on canvas for her amazing home.
Brandy had had a cat called Mistoffelees. So, with a photo in hand, I started on my first realistic collage, of anything. He started out okay, as shown above, but darned if I can find a
picture of the finished Mistoffelees. As is my habit, I made five canvases for Brandy to choose three.
.
The canvases were collaged with magazines, tissue and just a touch of ink and gesso.
Not clear in the photo, but the above canvas says,
"Sometimes a cat can take over your life."
"Alpha cat" just happened and demanded the name.
Finally, I stumbled across this word,
and made this for Brandy, just because.

love the cat collages,I'm a cat person with a fairly new kitten,she was born in late Feb.,Bella is her name. Our last kitty we had 17 and a half years and I really forgot what a kitten was like!
Thanks Karen. Kittens are adorable.
My last car was a rescue siamese that we had in YL, and she also made it to 17 years. I now get my animal fix when I am Erin's with her 4 dogs. Enjoy the kitty. ;o)
