Story of a cat- With pictures

This is JaKarr. She's a blind cat who lives with Cleo and Carson and though Anne can be reluctant to do pet portraits she's been known to make exceptions when there's a story to tell. It's not just about a pretty face ya know.

JaKarr helps Carson work. Carson and JaKarr have a special bond.

Cleo gave us all kinds of info, stories and pictures. We had lots to work with. I say 'we', it's mostly Anne who does the work... I just look over her shoulder and make helpful comments from time to time.

These paintings are all 10x10". Anne likes working on a few paintings at a time when she does a portrait. There's often more to say about the cat/dog/bird/rabbit/person than one image can express. Anne actually did the three paintings hoping one would pass muster but then in the end they all passed muster and so the JaKarr pictures are all with Carson and Cleo.

If you're interested in portraits drop us a line.
