Sasha & Chilli in Watercolour Pencils

Aww, maggie I love 'Chilby-Bilby' hee hee, so cute! It is a small world...very cute names though! 🙂 x

Hey TLC, thank you! love TLS xoxoxo

Hi Tracy,

What cute nicknames!! My Chilli has 'Chilli Bean', 'Chilby Bilby', and 'Chilli Chicken' just to name a few.

Like your Chilli, my Chilli also has a sister called Pepper! (Small world, isn't it!)

THESE ARE FABULOUS!!! The eyes are gorgeous! Nice work, TLS!
xoxoxo

Hi Ruth, thank you for your lovely comments, I just paint from the heart and they really didn't take very long, and I haven't painted for so many years. I see the soul in every living creature on Earth, this is what makes us one. Cats have particularly lovely and amusing personalities. love and light xxx

You have such a great talent! There is something about the watercolors of the cats that is so much more, so much better than photographs. Your artist's eye is able to perceive the soul of your subjects and bring out personality and so much more in the paintings. I couldn't do it myself in a million years, but I do really enjoy looking at good art work. Thanks so much for sharing!

Lol, I am glad they made you smile Anna. Yes, I have a couple of rare pictures with them together, I'll find one that is paintable. Chilli had a sister called Pepper, she was a little Black and White sweetheart, I will paint her and one of her with Chilli, they were adorable together. Pepper disappeared. I miss her terribly but I think she was an angel or something and not meant to be a cat. Chilli often pounces on Sasha and she plays too rough for him so they avoid each other, although a couple of times I have caught them nose-touching in a friendly way and blinking kisses at each other.

You are right about the eyes, I did go a bit mental with them but I love cats eyes they are so deep!

Thanks, Tracy:
Chilli and Sasha turned my heart into a smiley face:-) Great story.
Photos are wonderful, very recognizable. You definitely added a little more of your own personality to Sasha, right? To her eyes definitely:-)
Any pictures of Sasha and Chilli-Willi together?

Hi Maggie, Thank you! I will add more once I have painted some more. I have some great photos of them which I want to attempt. Yeah, Chilli is a fab name...he gets called all sorts of variants like; Chilli-Willi, Chill-Pill and 'Chilli-Willi from Caerphilly' is my favorite although he does look slightly puzzled at that one, ha ha ha! (yes, I am bonkers).

Hi Anna, Awesome, they like it :0) I think Chilli would like New York! Yes, Sasha is Mischievous bless her..this was from a photo and she was being playful at the time. They don't stay still enough for me to paint them unless they are asleep so I use a photo.

Sasha is now 14. I rescued her from a rescue home when she was 3, she had been abused and was frightened but she learned to trust again and became the most loving little tabby. She does have a slight ferrel nature to her, like when playing she doesn't link claws to being 'ouch' for humans, lol!

Chilli is 4, he is a monkey-cat...climbs and jumps lots and he chats a lot and sings. He also nags for cuddles like all the time which is sweet, apart from when you are on the phone and he decides to try and claw the phone out of your hand, lol! Oh and he likes to be walked about on your shoulders.

Hello from New York, Tracy:
Your kitties are now internationally well known:-)
Sasha has a mischievous look though, what was she doing while you were drawing her portrait?
Tell us more about both of them ,please. I don't mind watercolors:-).
Thank you so much!

Hi Tracy, your pictures are great! I would love to see some more.

I think you also have a great taste in cat names! (I have a Chilli too!)
