This is A 10×8 inch oil painting of Taz, a spectacular Maine Coon, looking up at a robin on a branch. I loved his expression and his coat is just a joy to paint! So full of gorgeous colours!

Noisy Neighbours!
10×8 inch oil on board

I wanted to capture his inner lion. Not sure if I’ve done that but he’s beautiful to paint.

The robin is a neighbour of ours. We watch him and his family going about their lives throughout the year.

I think I should call it noisy neighbours! :-)

This is one of my favourite paintings. I just love these two Bengals. They are so gorgeous and the position they’re curled up really makes me smile. It was such a joy to paint! I just wish I could have kept it.

This is a 14×11 inch acrylic painting on board. The background is made up of several layers of paint, the base colour was a warm pink with cooler lilacs over the top. As a result the background changes colour as the lighting changes, going from warm pinks to cool lilacs. Looks amazing but is very hard to photograph!

Here are a couple of close ups of the painting.

This is the winner of the Black Cat Awareness Day photo competition. I created a 10×8 oil painting from the winning photo, Molly in the grass. She has such a focused look as she stares through the grass so I added a ladybird to the painting.

Molly And The Ladybird
10×8 oil on canvas board

It reminds me of the nursery rhyme ladybird, ladybird fly away home. I imagine she’s just about to do that.

Here is a close up detail.

Moses is a Siamese cat with wonderful blue eyes. This painting is a 10×8 inch acrylic painting on board. I kept the colours around him soft and the composition simple to bring out his eyes and expression.

This is one of my favourite paintings! This lovely lad is Mirsku and as you can see, he’s quite a character. Very lively, full of fun and a great looking cat too. He lives in Finland with The King of Finland and his other feline subjects.

I had lots of photos to choose from when I came to paint Mirsku but this pose, with him laying upside down casually washing a paw with his legs akimbo, really made me laugh. So I just couldn’t resist it. I wanted to capture that fun loving personality.

I used a board coated in Liquitex ceramic stucco to give it a rougher texture. You can see the texture in the detail photo above. He’s a grey and white cat but his fur is so full of colour, lilacs and blues with warm patches of naples yellow. A joy to paint!
