Bright Eyes VI -Original Watercolor Painting
To say that this painting
depicts a happy cat is an understatement!
Janet writes, "Years ago a veterinarian told me that cats have many more muscles in their faces than dogs do--and so they are capable of many more subtle facial expressions than dogs. I don't know how true that is, but I can say
that cats are more difficult to paint than dogs! When I am painting, one slight paint stroke here or there can significantly change the appearance of a cat's expression." Click on the picture above to enlarge it and see all the incredible colors in this painting!

Framing
Smiley Cat is framed with 100% acid-free rag mats, satin pewter frame, and real feathers from a Blue and Gold Macaw and a pheasant. Frame size is 13x19 inches; image 5x8 inches. Top mat's color proved very difficult to photograph; it's a gray-green, pewter colored mat, more accurately like the detail picture below. Inner mat is olive. If you don't like this matting, I'll be happy to cut new mats (a plain off-white double mat), for no charge, as long as I still have enough materials here.
