Got paintings/drawings of pets? Post 'em here!

In another thread, https://www.democraticunderground.com/102815165 , Cat Artist LiberalLoner posted a nicely-done acrylic painting of a cat about to wreak havoc on something, and a discussion of pet painting with more examples ensued. It looks like many of us have painted cats and dogs (and maybe a lizard or two), a challenging purrsuit, so let's see some more. I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

1. Here's a small painting I made for someone who was mourning her beloved cat.

2. Beautiful - Kind of impressionist. I'll bet your friend loves and appreciates it.

You captured the cat's thoughtful expression, and I love the way you handled the light.

3. Thanks, Ocelot II.

It meant a lot to her. She has a congenital disability that makes it hard for her to leave the house many days, and her cat was a great comfort to her.

A little over a year later, she just adopted two littermates who are bringing her joy.

4. Here are some of mine:

This is Jeoffry, who passed away suddenly during the awful summer of 2020:


Milo, whom I lost only a month after Jeoffry:


Pixie, who's sleeping on the couch near me right now:


A friend's dog, who also passed away shortly after I finished this - I gave the painting to them.


So now, how about yours?

5. These are all gorgeous.

I remember being blown away by the cat portraits when I first saw them, and they're every bit as beautiful as I remembered.
I don't recall seeing the dog portrait before, but I'm sure it means the world to your friend.
