I have been writing stories and poetry all of my life. My interest in art began when my Dad held my hand when I was about two years old and helped me to draw a face. Since then I have progressed through pencils and crayons through water colours and oils and finally I am doing most of my art on the computer. I have created all of the illustrations in my books and have a substantial art gallery here at Renderosity. I was born in England and travelled to Australia with my family when I was ten years old. We moved to Mount Gambier when I was a child and I returned here in the early 90s and have lived here since. My early life was filled with books and reading and every Christmas we always received a story book of some kind. I remember our book shelves being filled with the works of Kipling, Shakespeare, H. G. Wells, Jules Verne and Edgar Allen Poe, to name a few, together with a good smattering of Enid Blyton and many other children's authors. That early contact with books at my mother's knee inspired a love of reading and writing for which I will always be thankful.

Lovely image, Jo. Ric, well done! It's a hard thing to put a pet down but it was for the best and I applaud your strength.

Nice work, Jo, and best wishes to Ric. You must have worked over the texture in PS to make it look like the original. I would like to hear a bit more about that. Was it trial and error to get the right markings on the right part? Or do you have tricks you could share to make that work.

This is a beautiful image, with poignant poetry. What a beautiful cat she must have been. Best wishes to Ric. Losing a beloved pet is so hard... It would gbe great to see some of Ric's work, too!
