"Brisbane" 5" x 7" pencil, crayon and collage on bfk paper
Maisie doesn't like me to draw cats very often...but this was an exception. A friend commissioned me to draw Brisbane...a wonderful girl who is no longer with us. Her mom, Patricia misses her very much so it was an honor for me to create this portrait for her. I love the color of her eyes! I used to do these mixed media drawings quite often and still really enjoy doing one now and then.
And hey...there's an Artist out there I just met this week that you should know about. Her drawings of animals are really exquisite. Her name is Leslie Moore from PenPets.com Leslie grew up in the Bay Area but has lived in New England for the past 25 years. Nice to know you, Leslie...you do beautiful work!

Oh my goodness, Linda! Brisbane is beautiful! I absolutely love the expression and how soft she is. I feel like I can pet her. The colors and textures you chose are absolutely perfect.

Linda, Brisbane's portrait is wonderful. Cats are so hard to capture and you did a great job. I thought it was a photograph with mixed media then realized you drew her too. Amazing.
On a scale of 1 to 10, Brisbane's portrait is a 15 !!!

Linda, thanks for posting Leslie's address, I have to go over there next and see her work.
Wow, that cat...when I first saw the kitty, I thought this was a photograph you took. Those eyes are so beautiful and full of life. Beautiful job, as always.
wow wow ...double wow.
love the mixed media

love the sassy and confident attitude!
I am so sorry for Patricia's loss, you can tell Brisbane had a large personality and will be missed.
This is so great.
That is amazingly realistic! Wow those lucky people. I also loved the horse below,the happy red color is wonderful.
Linda, these are great!!! I also want to take the time to say I love when you link to other people you enjoy.
I have never seriously tried to draw a cat but just today pulled out about three photos I want to try.
