Painting - Watercolor And Collage
Description
A first version of my sister's cat named Raja, a magnificent and loved pet. This one seemed too somber and so I painted another watercolor and it is now framed and cherished. Still I did love my first attempt and so with a light
frame of vintage flowers as a backdrop I'm finally adding it to my cat gallery.

Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Many thanks, Lois. Raja was my sister Beth's favorite cat and I tried two versions in watercolor! This is the one not chosen, a paler more serious one. The first one is framed and on her wall!

This was the first "draft" and it seemed so cool, too cool. So I framed him in flowers! Thanks, Nancy!!

A wonderful pose and presentation, Nancy, well done!

Many thanks, Henk. I don't paint this tightly anymore. Nice to have these "works" because honestly they were work!

So lovely to sea one of your cat paintings, Nancy. What a lovely pose. Raja looks so elegant. LF
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
He was dumb...but oh so loving and sweet. My sister in Dallas still misses him, but she enjoys the painting I made for her. I miss him too.
Maggie Terlecki
The floral colors you chose go so well with Raja (great name, by the way). She seems like she's got a sliver of sunshine on her face and is enjoying the warmth!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Raja was the sweetest cat my sister ever knew. He's gone now...for years...and I painted two versions of him. Animals can teach us so much!
