Laura’s cats Moo and Forrest look so comfortable curled up in front of the windows. This painting uses acrylic ink and paints on paper built up in layers over an acrylic medium which adds some random texture and surprise to the painting process.

A close up detail.

Chi, (Clint Eastwood) the tabby gun slinger of Freddie Street, is staring down the barrel of a loaded claw. ‘OK punk, do you feel lucky? Go ahead, bite me, make my day!’

I just love the way Sonia’s tabby cat, Tigger, is sleeping and the wonderful contrast of the greens and blues in his coat against the warm gold’s and rusts of the chair and the soft light coming through the window. It’s a 16×12 oil painting and I’m using a lot of texture and pattern in the chair, painting with fingers, a palette knife and anything else that comes to hand and makes an interesting pattern.
