Couch Cats

10x15 ink and acrylic on Canson 140 lb cold press paper, drawn this afternoon with India ink tip.  Spritzing with water enabled the ink to blend and diffuse while wet and dried permanently.

Donkeys sketch

5x8 ink sketch using Tombow brush pens, black and grey, on white index stock paper.  From this work I'll develop a painting in watercolor showing the donkeys' local colors, the fence and background.

Pet Portraits - Love Thy Neighbor

11x15 watercolor dog and cat portrait done several years ago and was SOLD. 
It still remains my favorite pet portrait of an orange tabby faithfully licking his friend's head in a show of affection.

Watchful Eye of the Cat

7x10 watercolor on Langton 140 lb cold press paper block, using a combination of several refs into an entirely different scene.  I was using a new paper and working on it while in New Mexico this past weekend.  This painting is SOLD.

Tag, You're It!

15x22 watercolor of my brother's two cats playing on the fence with the old farmhouse in the background.

Kitty Love

11x15 watercolor of Elizabeth's 2 cats Chloe and Big Ears, who is licking Chloe's face and she does not look too happy.  Finished today after 2 hours from pencil sketch on Italia 140 lb paper, American Journey paints.



Politicians

22x15 watercolor on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper. Using only b&w photos I drew each fur-person carefully then painted wet on dry using imagination. On right hand side with orange bg is a Siamese and that is Jezebel, studio kitty.

It was hard to find a sleezy name and many nouns such as Scalawags (too doggish), Jailbait, Devils in Fur Coats, came to mind but politicians seemed to fit perfectly. I love the one wet kitty on the left. I hope the cat lovers admire this one as it took awhile to do.
