Scooter, My Sister's Cat

Scooter is a cat that was a throw-away-cat my brother-in-law found in a parking lot. He was nursed back to health and now he is a really active an playful kitty. It was difficult to get him to pose and the photograph the painting was taken from is lousy, but anyway , here is my attempt to capture him in oils. I painted most of him in December, but finished him in March. He was painted on an 8"x10" canvas panel.

My Daughter's Cat

In September I painted my daughter's cat, Loony, She was laying under a bush watching the birds, her favorite pastime. She is quite a fat cat! This little painting was done in oils and was painted on a 5x7 canvas panel. I am still quite shaky with the brush and having a hard time with colors. Greens! Also, Loony, being a black cat, made the painting of her quite challenging. I may , in the future after I get more practice, paint her again.
