This is an iPad painting of Hopeful Gratitude for Julia Kay’s Portrait Party using Sketchbook Pro and ArtRage. A new discussion thread has started with portraits that include cats, so I want to start a few paintings to fit into that category. Sadly, I don’t have a cat to pose with (i’m allergic) but maybe someone can let me borrow one for a picture.
Through the Lava Lamp features the artwork of Rita Flores created using cutting edge technology such as the iPad and iPhone, as well as more traditional work such as drawing and acrylic painting. Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to add comments or ask questions about my techniques.

Hi rita,
Thanks for the cat (and other) portrIts. I went digging through all my old photos, too. i’ve lived with two different cats and have lots of photos of them and lots of photos of me, but none of me with the cat… Odd, but so it goes, neither is in this world anymore.
