Re: My Drawings of Cats


Dandysmom I still have quite a few to do

Thanks Tom for your kind comments I am hoping to get a lot more of Bootsy done next week

Deester the cats usually take anywhere between 8-15 hours depending on how big the drawing is (coloured pencils), pastels are about half of this time.

Re: My Drawings of Cats


Hi everyone, I haven't been here for a couple of weeks but the progress with Emma's latest pic is fantastic! it looks great.
Can't wait to see where our Boston is in your list Emma, it will be even more special as we nearly lost him in November when he was hit by a car. Thankfully our vet is wonderful anad her put a cast on his broken vertebrae and with 8 weeks cage rest and lots and lots of TLC he is now fit and well and just getting back outside. it was a hard decision to make to let him out but he sooooo loves the outdoors he wouldn't have enjoyed life if I'd tried to make him into a house cat.
Anyway he's v well now and looking forward to having his pic hanging on the wall.
Cheers
MCS

Poor Emma will be overwhelmed with painting requests

Seriously tho, I think there will come a time when Emma simply can't do everyone a painting because there will be too many members (Dogweb has over 2,ooo members and its not even 2 years old )

Perhaps I will have a talk with Emma and instead of people just cueing up for a painting, we simply run a monthly competition where the winner gets a painting, but for anyone who doesn't want to chance/wait 'to win' can buy a painting at a fair price, then Emma can choose to keep the money (which I think she'd deserve) or donate it - whichever she pleases.

I think Emmas doing a fab job but I do feel for her as I can imagine how much in demand her paintings are.... I mean who wouldn't want one of them, theyre ace!!

Re: My Drawings of Cats


I agree with Az, Emma is going to be innundated with requests for drawings and must 'draw the line' somewhere....she seems too nice a person to be able to say 'sorry, I've got too many to do at the moment'!
Az has put forward a couple of good ideas, re a monthly competition to win a drawing and also a chance to purchase a drawing. Emma has got such a talent and I think she should be rewarded in some way.....either to be used towards all the materials she has to buy or as Az said, to donate it..

Re: My Drawings of Cats


Agree absolutely with Az and Mags.

I'm sure Emma enjoys her hobby but she needs time to herself - and she also needs to purchase her materials, which aren't cheap.
The competition idea is great.....................which is why Az is the boss and we are but happy drones!
