Wonderful Wednesday - Family Portrait
Look at this fabulousness! This is a portrait from the whimsical brush of the talented Susan Faye which arrived at my house yesterday; matted and ready for framing. I contacted Susan at the beginning of September when she had just returned from a summer hiatus from custom portraits. Unfortunately between the time I sent her pictures of me and my cats and the time the portrait was completed, Molly went to the bridge. When Susan read about that on my blog, she contacted me and graciously offered to make any changes (to the already finished painting) that I wanted. I had seen in her gallery several pictures which had kitties with angel wings that looked quite lovely, but I ultimately decided this picture would be a representation of what my family looked like at the time I commissioned it. What did it matter really if there was one change in the members... little did I know at that time Ash would be coming to live with us too - LOL!
Susan has done many wonderful portraits that you can see on her blog 365 Cat Ladies and most recently on Wendy's 3D blog who was given a portrait of Dante, Dylan and Domino for her birthday. I just LOVE my portrait, it incorporates all my favourite colours (you can specify what you like) and I think my stylized kitties look happy and beautiful! If you get a chance, please visit Susan and tell her you think so too :-)
What a fabulous portrait! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe love your portrait as it is and mum says she would have made the same decision about the picture.

Great portrait - we like that all of the cats are in it - the next one will have Ash!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful portrait, Cat. We like that Molly is in it too! And yes, now you'll need to commission another with to-be-renamed Ash. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous! We totally love all of Susan Faye's work, and my Mommeh treasures her own portrait.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a nice portrait. And we will go over and tell her how much we like it. We are so glad you included Molly. She wouldn't want to be left out and since she was still here, she should be in the picture. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen a lot of her work around the CB and have to say we love it....what a talent she has been blessed with.
ReplyDeleteWe purr that y'all will have a "fab" day. We're also impatiently waiting for Ash's arrival at your house.

That is adorable; I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is simply stunning, no wonder you are thrilled. I'm glad Molly is there too, as it should be.
ReplyDeleteWe wanna get one of these portraits for our mom!! She would love it!!
ReplyDeleteIt is such an adorable picture - I think it is wonderful the way it is, and then you can do another in the future once Ash is there! We really want to get a portrait at some point because they are just adorable!

So sorry Molly had to leave you, but glad she was included in the lovely portrait...We can't wait to meet adorable Ash!...Our Mommy has been interviewing for a new job and if she starts working more hours on Nov. 1, we won't be able to comment everyday, but we will keep up with you, sweet friends...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteWe really LOVE your portrait!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful portrait ~ and we think yoo were right to keep Molly in it for posterity. After all she was (and still is) an important part of yoor family at the time you commissioned it. And now dear little Ash is joining you ~ so maybe a noo family portrait later ~ with the noo grouping?
ReplyDeleteSmoochies.

ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear about Ash!
