Here’s a more recent attempt at painting cats and I think I’m getting the hang of things a bit better.  It's a design I adapted from an old Christmas card.  My friend from Australia, Lindy Clarkson (Judd), stayed with my hubby and me for a few days when she visited the US in 2000.  Lindy taught me the ins and outs of painting fur.  I really love the way this box turned out.  It was difficult for me, fur is still tricky, but I’m improving.
