discussion Advice on cat painting, please

[PaulinKendal]

I've been given a garden ornament to repaint, and I'm looking for colour scheme suggestions. I've been given free-rein - I could give it tiger stripes, paint it sparkly pink, whatever. Any suggestions gratefully received!

What ever you decide, with your skills, it will look purrfect. :rolling:

I’d copy Larry…..

The only worthwhile resident of 10 Downing Street….

But then, I’m biased…

As to hints, I’d do it like any other animal. Find a photo you like and copy it. Don’t make anything up, it rarely looks convincing.

Had a word with my 4 moggs and they said very carefully!

Well here are my two posers. Unfortunately the tri- colour tabby passed last year.
Gingers are in fashion it would seem.

I'd go for simplicity

I've been won over by the big sad eyes of the Shrek Puss - good call @Gary MacKenzie !

I've stalled on wire tree making while I wait for some Flexi-Bark™ to arrive. So I've just had an absolute blast painting this. Took about four hours start to finish - no pressure, slap on the paint and have some fun!

Love it…….don’t like him eating my lawn ornaments though LOL….

 

[Jim R]

That is really nice. Well done. To repeat my earlier post - it's purrfect.

I was hoping for the Cat's (Pyjamas) instead, but very happy with The Dog's (so long as it doesn't start pouring with rain). How kind of the Committee!
