This is Martta, a Burmese kitten. Isn’t she amazing? She’s clearly a cat of great character. I loved painting her, it’s such a wonderful pose with her paw outstretched and her claws sunk into the sofa. And that little face!

It deserved to be a large painting. I’ve painted her as a 16×12 inch painting, so she’s larger than life size. With the wonderful colour of the background, those warm pinky reds, the painting has quite an impact.

Thanks to Kati from Kissmollin cattery for letting me paint her.

This is Annabella, a stunning Burmese cat. Isn’t she just amazing? Her colouring is so pretty and delicate, she was quite a challenge to paint. She is a tortoiseshell and her creamy coat has blue/lilac tones in it. But against that lush, red background her coat really seems to glow.

The reds were a difficult part of the painting. There are several reds from cold, blue reds like Alizarin Crimson to bright, warm reds like Cadmium Red.

This is a large painting, a 20×16 inch oil painting on board. Here’s a close up …

I’ve loved painting her for Kati from Kissmollin cattery.

A painting of Ming, my snow Bengal cat. He has the most lovely blue eyes and this profile shows them off to good effect. As a bonus he’s wearing his bling collar. I know it’s over the top but I couldn’t resist it. :-) Against the warm dark backdrop he seems to glow.

A close up…

‘Old Blue Eyes’ is a 16×12 inch oil painting. I’m putting him in for the Society Of Feline Artists show in London later this year.

Muffin loves to sit on her gold cushion in morning when the sun streams in through the window. The sun really lights up her coat and she watches the world go by. It must be roasting with all that long fur but she seems very happy. She’s a Somali, like and Abyssinian but with long fur.

Here’s a close up of her face. her eyes are really gold in colour but in this light they look green.

She was painted with a knife in oils on a 10×8 inch board. It was a lot of fun getting those gorgeous gold’s and reds and oranges in her fur. Here’s a close up of the knife work.

This Birman cat is Tilli. Birmans really do have the whole looks thing sown up I think. Their fur is long, soft and gorgeous and their eyes quite spectacular. So she was a pleasure paint. :-)

It’s an interesting pose, looking up at Tilli against that gorgeous red wall and with the light highlighting her fluffy fur. So this painting is full or warm colours.

She is SOLD.
