  5. You, my dear are a riot. What will you think of next? I really like pose a, b & c. However, If I HAD to choose, I would pick pose C

  6. Pose B - they are all cute, but as a painting I think B would make the nicest.

  7. pose B of your lovely cat. and by the way-our own Willamina library cat was featured in Cat Fancy Nov 08 and the article won a big prize earlier this year. How about doing something with Agie who has been at the library over 11 years?

    ButtonWillow is a natural! It's a tough decision, but I think B has such a great expression. I love all of your work. eve30@hotmail.com

  15. Poze B fur me! Can't wate to see the final produkt!

  16. I'm between A and B. In C she just looks too angry. Plus it is such a straightforward shot compared to the other two.
    I love how she is looking away all aloof in pose A but I guess the smelling of the leaves wins me over.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I am for B. She has that curious cat expression on her lovely face ;)

    ReplyDelete

    Pose A is a more "still life" type pose that has that pensive quality to engender introspection. Our tuxedo cats often look as if they are merely observing the world around without being a part of it.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am a fan of pose A. And Pico, who is an expert on poses himself also finds that one most interesting. Do we get to give two votes? =)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Pose C. I like the fact that ButtonWillow has rearragned the tulips so that the one trending to the right balances her pose to the left. Very artistic.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Pose C - wonderful composition! And you can see Buttonwillow's face! Actually the first photo - where she is an artist's asst if the best, but....
