LOL! Sounds like you've got your hands full too. Just wanted to
tell you - I am still going through your website/blog...but thank you so much
for the hope and the inspiration. It's already done so much to help us
through this tough time. Kiss Spaz and the other kids for me!

Wow!! Your cats do
that stuff, too (surf the web, use credit cards, sneak the car)??
:) I thought it was just mine. Spaz has practically kicked me
right off the chair to enter her own blog entry on her site :). Also, I
know what you mean about the job thing! Well, what I do is fairly
creative, but it is very limited. And all the other B.S. that can go on
working for someone else. I hope that one day you will be able to do it
for a living, because it means so much to you.

Subject: Re: Elizabeth's talent
You are too, too kind. Thank you from my heart.
If I could do anything I wanted to for a living - I would do cat
portraits. Sadly though - I live alone with 8 cats so I'm the only one
paying the bills (plus, the kitties like to surf the web and use my credit
cards when they aren't sneaking the car out to go joy riding). I have
to have a sense of stability and security...so I am biding my time
in a high pressure position that requires absolutely nothing artistic or
creative and makes me wish I had a valium IV.
I love to paint in oils and watercolors. Charcoal and pencil is
one of the least expensive mediums to use so I rely on that a lot...plus
fewer kitty paw prints in oil paint around the house :-) - the kids love to
paint. I love pen and ink too and do a little sculpture and some
photography. All this - along with my gardening - is my therapy....and
Lord knows I need that LOL
One of these days.....
Thanks for being interested!

Oh
Elizabeth what a gift you have!! I'm sure you are told that by
anyone who is fortunate enough to view your work. Do you do this for
your livelihood? You should, if only to share your gift with as many
people as possible. You not only portray a realistic representation
of your subjects, but you're able to capture the beauty of their spirits
as well. Not a simple thing to do.
When did you first discover
that you could do this? Do you paint as well? Very nice, thank
you for posting them.

Tad - that is an excellent point and one that deserves careful
consideration. I lost my Felicity to vaccine related fibrosarcoma
and although it happened many years ago, I still grieve. Here is a
link to a charcoal drawing I did of her. She was a very dear
soul.
