Cat Portrait

This is a portrait of my Oliver, sitting on the dining room table. It is one of his favorite places because it reminds him of dinnertime, when he tries to steal the food off of our plates. In this painting he looks as though he anticipates a snack. SOLD

Cat with Grapes and Wine

Oliver the cat always tries to steal my food. In this painting he is eying my grapes, probably because I had just washed them and he wanted to drink the water that dripped off of them. Alas, I was able to protect my snack and I rewarded him with a kitty treat for creating such a picturesque scene. SOLD

Sleeping Cat

After a long day of playing and trying to steal my chicken dinner, Oliver is tired. I painted this from life, between Oliver's tosses and turns. I usually paint cats from photos because they don't sit still, but I decided to do an impromptu sketch with paint. the finished product is slightly impressionistic.
