Blogs of Note

So much to learn!

Being relatively new to blogging, I just learned that there is a category in the blogger community that designates "Blogs of Note". When I found this I gravitated to the blog entitled Animal Art Adventures because of my love for animals.

Laura Hardie is a pet portrait artist who resides in Edinburgh. She especially loves drawing dogs in colored pencil or graphite. You must check out her website, too.

I will need to do more research about the criteria for which blogs are selected for this designation. Meanwhile, I will look at more "Blogs of Note".

By the way, as far as noteworthy items..........

Do you know the winter time substitution for a sun spot for a cat?

Colorful Artist

I was just cruising around the Internet this evening and came across an artist whose art I thoroughly enjoy. Being an animal person, I was very drawn to her pet portraits. I really like the way she captures the expressions of the pets and her choice of colors.

She has challenged herself to do 30 pet portraits in 30 days.
She is on number 21.
Take a look.

By the way, here is one of my cats, Gypsy, immortalized in a mixed media collage painting:


and in an oil painting:


She has very expressive eyes and can out stare anyone.

Wonder if this is a message that it is time for me to paint my other pets.....
