Thread: China, Maine Coon pet portrait WIP

How right you are puzzles,more tissues needed,I can't get over how Jo has got that slight meaness in her face but it is put to the back by the love that shines through those eyes, a photo never done my girl justice but now..... just going to have another cry,where are the tissues again....x

China finished and approved by Jackie.

I still really love the expression on this one - it says so much - love it! Well done Jo, it's great.

This is a lovely portrait - what a beautiful girl. It's made me cry imagining how much it must mean to China's mum. You have an amazing gift Jo.

Photos never really done her justice bless her but now thanks to Jo she will soon have pride of place where she deserves to be,just hope I can soon look at her without blubbing....x

Loads and loads of love for her Mum ... perhaps the merest touch of meaness, but also a tiny bit of female contraryness too? A truly special portrait

Thank you everybody. She's been lovely to draw and I'm pleased that Jackie is happy with her.I'll now go and put her on my website.

Wonderful cat and wonderful artist. So pleased for Jackie x

Today I was so lucky to meet Jo who along with her husband & collie dog Pip called round to personally bring me the portraits of China RIP & Bruce. Watching them come to life on here & by emails was very touching but to unwrap & see them in the "pastels"was unbelievable,a special thank you Jo for bringing China back into our life even if it did mean the tissues came out again, now looking forward to seeing the next two done......x
