The Painted Cat – Cats On The Easel

Poppy, Daisy and Lilly

March 28th, 2009

Three beautiful Siamese cats curled up together on the sofa, a seal point a tabby point and a blue point. This painting was a commission for their owner. I started by looking at different poses for the three of them.

In this one Daisy was still a kitten.

This is the pose we chose for the painting.

Here’s the canvas part way though the painting process. Most of the underpainting is done except for Lilly and Poppy’s faces and the cushions are taking form behind them.

This is the finished painting. It’s a 16×12 inch acrylic painting on canvas.

Some close up details, Daisy and Lily…

Billy On The Floor

December 30th, 2008

This is Billy lying in the sun, one of the Christmas commissions. Billy is one of my favourite models. He and his two brothers are such handsome meezers! This painting was a surprise for his owner from her other half.

This was a 16 x 12 inch painting and it looked wonderful in a solid wood frame.

Frosty

January 9th, 2008

This is another Christmas commission. Frosty was commissioned by Tabitha for her daughter. Tabitha has some of the loveliest cats around and luckily they sometimes model for me too.
