I also wanted to keep it in the purrs "community" as I know we all so love our fur-babes, it's more "personal" that way if you know what I mean.

Ive seen Gillians work and she will do an amazing job for you!

LeighK · « **Reply #22 on:** November 05, 2008, 11:56:49 AM »

I know she will Gill, I'm very impressed with her work. Tiggy's portrait is terrific, I am so looking forward to hanging it on the living room wall in my new home for mum to see when I bring her round it'll be a lovely suprise for her and I can tell her that I brought Suzie to my new home after all. The photo's my favourite I took it at the highest resolution with my digital SLR and Suzie sat bolt upright and posed for it, it really captures her expression.

Cheers

Love that photo Leigh and just purrfect for an artist to use.....Gillian will do a lovely portrait of Suzy

So pleased you chose her.

That's a beautiful photo Leigh, I'm sure Gillian will do her justice. Her portrait of Tiggy is amazing and takes pride of place in my living room.

that's a lovely photo Leigh - poor Gillian is struggling with a montage of photos of my Amber, she isn't at all photogenic and can't sit still for one second, most photos have her head missing where she is rushing to greet you as you walk towards her with the camera!

LeighK · « **Reply #18 on:** November 05, 2008, 10:58:32 AM »

Thank you all for your great suggestions.

Gillian (Ambercat) has very kindly agreed to paint Suzie's portrait from my favourite photo below.

Many thanks,

Cheers

Hilary Mayes in St Ives Cornwall is a great artist and done some wonderful animal portraits.

Another place is http://www.fabulousmasterpieces.co.uk/ .... if you look at cat portraits you might recognise a certain kitty

That is a stunning portrait of a certain kitty , you must be really pleased with it, was it mega expensive?

It was quite expensive but as they used the pic on their wedsite for "advertising" I got it for cost

This is the pic they used so you can see how good the likeness is:

Catherine Taylor of Norfolk did a fantastic pastel portrait of my dog Pepsi. If you PM me your email I will send you a pic of it.

What sort of style are you after? I did a graphic version of my friends kitten for her birthday.

In terms of pro places though, I'm afraid I have no idea! I've seen some of Gillians though and they are very good.

*Just looked at the portrait place and that one is lovely!

I had a portrait done of Dingle RIP in 92. She passed away in 97. I've had so much comfort from Dingle's portrait over the years.

Just wanted you to know it's a great idea Leigh.

Thank you that's brilliant, I would like one of my favourite photos done and it can hang in pride of place in my new home and mum'll like it when she comes to visit.

Cheers

p.s. - If you go into Gallery - the blue rectangles at the top of page and then into members art and something or other you will see some of her work.
