This commission to paint Ness, Vienna, Rigsby and Bob took me a while to complete. Their owners, Stuart and Jane, wanted the four of them curled up together but Ness doesn’t like having her photo taken! So I needed to come up with a pose that included all four cats even though we couldn’t get them to pose for the painting.

This is a 22×16 inch acrylic on a deep sided canvas. Here are some detailed photos…

This is Princess lying upside down in her favourite chair. Enjoying a spot of heat bathing!

Another of the Christmas commissions is Frank. I rather fell for Frank as I was painting him. He looks to be quite a character. He was also a lot of fun to paint as he’s sitting partly in sun and partly in shade and the colours in his fur change with the light.
