Cats Playing on a Sofa

These cats engage in riotous banter after a long nap on the sofa. The fluffy one ducks in self defense as the other strikes with a right hook. SOLD

Cat in a Box

What do cats love almost as much as tuna? Playing in cardboard boxes, of course. SOLD

Venetian Canal Study

This is a study of a Venetian Canal. I wanted to determine if the composition and style will be suitable as a larger piece, and I may soon paint a larger one. I have been trying to paint a picture every day since January 1 to experiment with different subject matter and paint applications, therefore they have all been very small. Now I find it difficult to return to larger pieces as the smaller ones have a greater sense of spontaneity and freshness.

Tiny Teapot

This tiny teapot is only good for one cup of tea. It has been in my family longer than I have. I have seen it all my life, and never thought of it as subject matter until recently.

Sleeping Cats

These are not my cats, they belong to my mother. They eat together, fight together and sleep together. The one that is most visible is known among the neighborhood cats as the Feline Goodwill Ambassador because he befriends everyone, even the scrappy ones. SOLD

Looking Out the Window II

Oliver is a great model and muse. In this painting, however, he is visibly tired of living with the paparazzi and just wants to look out the window without having his picture taken (this was painted from a photograph). Maybe I'll give him a break and just let him be a regular cat for a few days. SOLD

Looking out the Window

Oliver the cat likes to hang out with me while I paint and provide moral support. He usually sleeps in this chair or looks out the window, then I have to stop painting to take his picture. SOLD
