This is my fractal version of Mafdet, believed to be the first egyptian cat. As you know cats were treated as gods and protected by law during this time. The penalty for harming or killing a cat even if it were accidental was death at the hands of the people. If you look closely towards the center of her eyes you can see a mouse running around in circles in each one.Thanks so much for viewing.

Eileen I love the detail in this image, the shape and the sense of movement. It's very beautiful. The only thing that I find distracting it the incompatability of all the colors. I would have stuck with primaries or pastels but not the mix of the two. Does that make sense? Nice art. anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)

Both this and your owl are marvellous. Would make interesting illustrations for a rather unusual children's book, too. (The best kind - that adults want to buy, too!)
