"Furby"
18x24" acrylic on canvas
(C) Cara Bevan 2008
I do all I can to honor the animals I know, have seen, and love. That is why I
have redone the painting of my cat, Furby. My first ‘professional’ painting,
also called “Furby”, was completed in the fall of 2006. Due to its flaws, I was
compelled to try again. I believe I have done my furbaby proud. Furby has
always been very timid compared to his crazy brother,
Comet. He is very
attached to me and whenever I paint he sits beside me in a chair just for
him. Furby is my little, orange shadow. When he can’t find me in the house,
he’ll meow oh so pitifully until someone sees to him. Furby is very sweet,
though, never wanting to leave my side, and he purrs loud enough to fill a
room with his song. He is so timid that he won't play with toys unless you're
not looking. If you look at him, he'll give you wide, scared eyes and scamper
off, seemingly embarrassed. I dearly love him, even with his flaws. He is
perfect just the way he is. This painting has taught me one thing above all
else – a little determination goes a long way. While painting it I just wanted it
to end. I’ve never painted something so complicated before and I was
caught off guard by it. It seemed like torture at first, but now that it’s finished
I’m looking forward to the next painting (even if it’s just as or more complex).
Seeing Furby sleeping soundly by my side made it all worthwhile.
