YA's post nails it.

Ever think of drawing or painting again? Next time you post your cat, how about a sketch?

I’ve always liked to draw and dabbled in watercolors and had oil supplies, but never pursued it further. I often think about getting back into it.

In the meantime….

Here is a portrait of my late feline, Iskander. It’s by Joshua Reynolds and titled, Lord Iskander of Downton Tabby.

This is a massive piece. The artist studied with my friend’s father. His career has taken off. The technique is encaustic. Basically hot wax to paint every inch of the canvas. The detail is amazing.

A fraudulent intent, however carefully concealed at the outset, will generally, in the end, betray itself.
