Billy and Millie

These two Siamese tabby points were wonderful to paint. I loved doing Billy and Millie. I kept their fur warm in colour and set them against a lilac backdrop that compliments their coats. I wanted to give this painting a feeling of warmth and affection. This is a 20×16 acrylic painting on canvas.

The star of the show is Millie with those lovely blue eyes! Here’s a close up of Millie.

Justin

This recent commission of Justin was a lot of fun to paint. He’s a good looking Siamese cat and standing in front of the flowers adds another colourful dimension to the portrait.

This is a 16×12 acrylic on paper.

In The Pink

Here is my new Siamese cat painting, In The Pink. It’s taken me a while to paint it. I loved the pose, Kimi stretching on the fence. He looks fabulous and his people kindly gave me permission to use him as a model. He makes a wonderful model too!

But it took me quite a while to get the backdrop right.

There are lots of different pinks, purples and reds in that tree!

I’ve even managed a tiny human figure in the garden, reading under a tree. That’s a first for me.

I hope to exhibit it in the Society Of Feline Artists show in London in September. He is a 20×16 inch oil painting on canvas board.

Poppy, Daisy and Lilly

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

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.
