Lately I’ve been taking photos of many cats of my acquaintance, as painting reference. Here are two paintings of my kitties or kitties of friends:
Gizmo is a sweet but mischievous cat. He and his companions are staying here while their cat dad gets his bearings. I loved this pose of Gizmo, looking out the window with the cool light on his face and fur. Gizmo just won a “Judge’s Choice” nod from the January 2025 “Daily Paintworks” contest, for which I am very grateful!
I have a special affinity for this painting, and for this cat. Blot is a very sweet kitty, but not as objectively “pretty” as her sister, the Biter of Hands. However, Blot is a affectionate, loving kitty who just so happens can give these malevolent glares that in no way reflect her true character. I enjoyed painting her glare in this piece!
I’ve got more paintings in the works, and more things to yammer on about… hopefully will make more updates soon!
