Cat Paintings from The Painted Cat - Fine Art For Cat Lovers

Torties

Upside Down

April 26th, 2011

Todays painting is a tortoiseshell cat rolling on the floor. Torties have such pretty coats, so full of colour and great for a painter. She is perfect for thick, juice strokes of oil paint!

Favourite Spot

November 17th, 2008

Beautiful Tinky sits in her favourite spot in the garden, dreaming mice dreams among the flowers. I bet that rock gets wonderfully warm in the sun. Cats always find the best places to sleep don’t they?

I love her expression of contentment too.

I love the colours in this painting, there were so many colours in her fur and in the rock beneath her. I built it up in many layers and kept the paint thick and juicy in the coat and in the rock.

This is a 20 x 16 inch acrylic painting on stretched canvas.

Sunbathing

June 3rd, 2007

This is Chloe. She’s laying on the step enjoying a hot summers day and the feel of the heat in her fur. The sun lights up her beautiful coat and fills it with rich reds and gold’s that set off her tortoiseshell markings so well.

She’s painted in acrylics on Fabriano Pittura paper. 

The first coat was a coat of iridescent gold medium and that shows through the subsequent layers of paint making her fur glow with the gold of the sun. This only shows from certain angles and is quite subtle but the photo gives an idea of how it looks.

Geezer By The Pond

May 8th, 2007

A portrait of Geezer by the pond. This was a commissioned painting for his owners Fiona and Mark. Geezer was an amazing and very rare male silver tortie Maine Coon. I love the way he lets his tail float in the pond.
