Sphynx Cat in an Egyptian World

I'm sure some of you are pondering the title I made for this one.

Well, a Sphynx (hairless) cat is not Egyptian at all,

but has the same pronunciation as the mythical Sphinx statues.

I began by coloring the background, starting at the bottom.

The blue just wasn't blending well at all. 

So I topped it with two other blues.  

I really wasn't happy at all and almost gave up even coloring this page. 

I decided since I felt I had 'messed up' the whole page 

that I would just color a rainbow of different colors.  

That's how I ended up with yellow, purple & pink. 

I used unusual colors for the cat because the rainbow background 

just 'made me do it'!

I chose a Black Cherry color.....ohhhhhhh!

Isn't it fantastic?!

And those stunning apple green eyes!

I LOVE the way the artist drew the front paw!!!

My Miss Gali does that when she's trying to reach out 

and grab a wand toy as it's whizzing by.  

TOO CUTE!

How impressive to have the long tail weave through the Egyptian stones!

With all of this color, I just couldn't have a sandy colored Egyptian stone city without pops of color for interest!

I'll begin by showing you a sphinx of King Tut.

Note: the apple is the unusual 'surprise' that the artist hides in his illustrations!

A few more up close looks. 

I'm very pleased that the 'happy accident' background led me to choose the color for the cat and to add pops of color in the stone city.

Thanks for viewing and have a great day!
