My kitty Oberon as a "sea-cat" (pic)

[Lorien]

My friend Sheila did this pencil drawing of Oberon as a "sea cat" (or "Catfish" if you prefer). Charming!



The inspiration:

1. THAT is gorgeous, Lorien, and so is Oberon. He knows he

is beautiful, too. Do you take the pictures of him, because he always poses like a model. I would love to give him a big kiss on the nose.

2. That's adorable. I like the seahorse cat, too. Your friend is very talented.

5. That is BEAUTIFUL!!

Is it true that Maine Coon cats generally like water more than other breeds of housecat?

11. My Oberon isn't very fond of it, but I know other MCs that like playing

in water. My Savannah adored splashing around!

12. Thanks everyone! I just launched a Facebook page for Oberon

since other artist friends expressed an interest in drawing and painting him. It's chock full of reference shots and I plan to add quite a few more. It'll (hopefully) force me to learn more about my digital SLR and professional light set, which I still haven't used!
