Description
My little Maria has a mind of her own. She walks away from home when it is dark, and comes back when darkness has fallen again. Often she can be away up till 18 hours. She has a loophole where she disappears,(as you can see here),and it is impossible to follow her. I must say it is a little empty here for her mom (that's me, yes) I have no idea where she goes, and she is not especially hungry when she comes home. Maybe someone gives her food, I think that is irresponsible, but cannot do anything about it.

Sweet.... Great image!!!!
Love the image, time well spent. May she always come back!
That is beautiful work and she is too. I think, with all the open country around you, she may be hunting her food. I hope she mellows out and comes home more as she ages.
This is adorable and came out so wonderful
Verz good painting job here!
AAAAHH ! What a gorgeous painting Gun. You did a wonderful job with her.!FAV !
the filtering is beautiful, Gun, it brings out inner illumination, and enhances the 'mystery' of Maria, who apparently is attracted to all kinds of things beyond her home. Sorry for your travail; you've known cats for many years, and I know every so often a cat will stray as much as it can. I hope she keeps coming back. You've captured her beauty & mystery beautifully here. Your software transformations are magical, mystical & inward. Very sensitive work.
Such a lovely image, with a mystical feel. I would worry, too, as I know you love Maria. This is why I have dogs, and I still worry about them, even though they are in the house. :o) CC
Wonderful!
This is awesome - wonderful work!
great art to enjoy
I like the softness in this image that make her eyes look more intense.
Beautiful photo and post work. My wish for you is tat Maria comes back to you always.

A lovely light in this soft and so nice work ;O)

ah yes! i remember willy wee in the first days, he went away and didnt come back for 3 days, you can imagine, we were all in worry where he is! then, the following weeks if not months, he was coming and going like maria does now :) as the years passed by, the willy 'king of the road' wee got lazy and was at home most time :) such a beatufil portrait from maria, gun, she's a beauty :)
Lovely as is the Mystical light
She has a sweet and soft beauty with all the mistery cats have!They are "they" and it is good and they love to be loved...(i know peolple that think cats don´t care..!!)Maria seems to KNOW she is loved and she looks So happy!.Great portrait.
Ah, but our Mysterious Maria is holding true to the ways of the Cat. No one knows where they go, or what they do. They are very mysterious and very private creatures. A beautiful portrait you've made of your daughter's photo.
What a cutie. We have a neighbor's cat that comes visiting now and then and there is no way I can keep him from eating when I feed our cats. But all our cats are outdoor cats here on the farm.
She is beautiful,stunning effects ....really beautiful !!!
What a cutie she is...great job with this photo
As a huge lover of cats, what can I say other than absolutely "jättegullig"- you have captured the soul of the little kitty wonderfully! Mycket, mycket bra!!
Very beautiful brushwork Gun and your little Maria sounds to be very independant.
Truly a beautifully presented, gorgeously filtered image of what we all acknowledge to be an elegent, regal kitty! :0)
