Ted E. Bear, Luka and more!


Okay, anyway, here's an updated portrait of Ted E. Bear (Teddy Bear) the furry black cat.

Also, here's the start of a portrait of Luka (his owners let me take my own photos of him when I dropped of his portrait, which, by the way, they were very happy with, I'm pleased to say!)

Will be listing more things on eBay soon -- mostly more Western Airlines
posters and the like, but a few eclectic things here and there.

Check out eBay listings under seller name Lani Sakai.

Ted E. Bear - Another cat portrait


And here's another portrait, done of a cat that is no longer with us. I only had one photograph to work from, and that photograph was pretty small, so it was hard to see details, especially his nose! Anyway, it's still a work in progress, but it is coming along.

Teddy aka Theodore aka Ted E. had beautiful yellow gold eyes according to his owner. They were the color of the flowers he was sitting next to in this pose, which is what she wanted to make sure was captured.

What do you think? Your opinions and comments are invited and welcome.

4H Club Winning Cat - Luka Portrait


I love the way this portrait of Luka is turning out! He was apparently the winning cat at last year's Clark County Fair, and one of his prizes was a Pastel Pet Portrait by artist Lani Sakai - me! What do you think?

I still have to work on the background color a bit, but other than that, I think he's pretty much done.

According to his master, Luka likes to sit with one paw sticking out, so that's how he is in this portrait. Such a cute cat!
