The Russian Princess, Blossomire is a pedigree Siberian Forest cat. This painting of her by Lesley Anne Ivory took many weeks to complete and Lesley commented that 'she was both a challenge and a joy to portray'. Blossomire's crown can be seen at the top of the painting; it was inspired by honeysuckle and is set with emerald and jade for her eyes as well as rubies for her warmth. Lesley Anne Ivory is one of the most prolific and prestigious painters of cats in the world today. Her meticulous attention to detail is legendary; she spends a lot of time researching for her pictures, including countless hours in the British Museum or the Victoria and Albert Museum, researching patterns and fabrics. Her style has evolved over many years and her work is now instantly recognizable from her exquisitely realistic portrayals of cats against richly textured backgrounds.
