Christmas Kitty

Colorful Tabby

In the standard mat, this 5x7" watercolor was a perfect Christmas gift.

Ocho - A Memorial

Return clients are always great... unless they are in tears and mourning the loss of another pet.  This was delivered in tears... as we usually do. 

As hard as it is, I really appreciate it when people contact me while in their early grief.  I KNOW this  helps.  I also get great hugs when I deliver it.  

This is NOT a Siamese...

..but it has traveled across the world to its new home in Thailand, so TECHNICALLY?

Fluffy Cat Going Overseas

Second of my kitties to fly overseas.

Silver Tabby

I had a group of kitties going off to Thailand.  Here is the first.

A Little Silverpoint of My Cat

This little 5x7" board is gesso with stain, I thought it would look like spilled milk, but it is in the R&D stage.

My cat, The Dude

Unfinished Demo from Last Night

I had a LOT of people interested and charity events are ALWAYS more fun than real life!
The dinner was great and the winners incredible.
By asking the first person who I met, I decided the Rex Cat reference I had ready would be my demo.
It is pretty dramatic as is, but I am going to finish it tonight.
REMEMBER... we are not just dogs anymore!

Second Demo acrylic painting.

It occured to me that I have one one horse, a group pose and the last bull dog and those are my ONLY acrylic pets! This white cat was another attempt to only use the student kits but I will say, the nature of acrylic paints was taking it a lot of very interesting places. So here is a unique one... CROSS SPECIES AGAIN!

We are Cross Species Now.

Because I have really had a lot of other work to do, the blog is going to integrate and I will be showing my kitties (birds, horses and turtles if people ask!!!) as well. I am a pet portrait painter, and will be sharing the business.

This is a memorial. And a birthday gift. And an oil. Lots of stretching here. Mixing media is good for the brain, but always hard to shift gears.

My Kid, the Cat.

...also known as the dude. Yes, I am getting obsessive, but today I did the unthinkable! I decorated him. I will say I was amazed. He seemed to think he was looking pretty studly, so I just had to immortalize him!

Change of Species

From a photo donated as reference to a group of artists, I did this little Maine Coon as a demonstration, first for a very festive wine tasting and then finished Saturday at an outdoor festival. More dogs to come as Christmas nears, but even kitties need a little representation as gifts!

The Hero Award Winners

Saturday was the wonderful event (how often do you get serenaded by a lady in a gown playing piano and a German Shepherd singing along??) honoring the Friends of Animal Care and Control.

These six amazing animals where honored with drink and fine food and great people:

Dog Tired of Dogs.

I know, I just sort of ran out of dog steam! So we have the holiday version of my cat.

Sometimes you just have to have a break!

HUMP DAY!

I have decided to do a whole year, and today is my 183rd (that is half way) post.
I shall celebrate with my CAT:


SO...maybe I will add one more dog at the end!
