Tabby is a beautiful little cat residing at D'Arcy's Animal Rescue in Winnipeg. She is one of many looking for a new home, and hopefully this portrait will help raise a few dollars for their cause.

She's gorgeous. I love tabbies with all their stripes! It's sad to me that there are so many cats and dogs out there looking for a forever home; thank you for helping to draw attention to one!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! Look at that darling face!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back painting Vern...love this little tabby too!
ReplyDeleteLove those eyes, what a sweet kitty, I have just started a painting of my daughters tabby and am getting lost in the stripes! Lovely painting.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully painted and well designed, Vern.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great face! Tabbies are the cuddliest kitties and you've captured that sweet personality beautifully here! Those eyes are mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteI love that expectant look she has. She's beautiful (both her and the painting)
ReplyDeleteVery well done and I like the minimal background
ReplyDeleteThis little cat is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were from Winnipeg, that I know quite well, on my way to Kenora, from France.
I sympathize with your wife, I've had this kind of treatment for the whole 2008, so, courage for the 2 of you!
Beautifully done, Vern. I like the expression on Tabby's face, it speaks of "please adopt me". The colors are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful painting of a beautiful little face Vern. May she raise lots and lots of money for the home.
ReplyDeleteYou did an incredible job on this cat, Vern. The colors are fabulous and the way you conveyed that soft fur is amazing. Cats are very difficult to paint as I have found out the hard way. Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful composition and excellent color palette; I love this little guy!
ReplyDeleteHi Vern, thank you for your kind comments on my blog and for introducing me to your work. You are very talented. I am sending warm, positive thoughts Rose's way. Cannot wait to see what you paint next!
ReplyDeleteYeeppee, you are back!!!
ReplyDeleteThis cat is beautiful.
Great to hear from you Vern, please give your wife my best we are keeping her in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteI just love this painting, very inspiring I think I will make a visit to our local shelter and do the same, what a wonderful idea. I just love animals and am always trying to think of ways to help.
What an adorable kitty!! I love those eyes! Hope Tabby will find a forever home for the Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs and cats are wonderful paintings, I also love those figures walking across the space...
ReplyDeleteI have a soft spot for tabbies and you painted this one extremely well. I made an attempt to paint my tabby and failed miserably. I know how hard it is to get those stripes to look like fur. Great job!
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty, Vern! My first cat was a Tabby, and I always have a soft spot for them.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Vern! The color is very rich. I like the appearance of the canvas texture. I also love that bit of red surrounding the branch in the background.
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely "nailed" that cat's look. What a fabulous painting. Happy 2010.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Tabby! I'll bet she's found a good home by now. Nice painting.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! So glad to discover your blog.
