Oil on museum quality ampersand gessobord panel - 6" x 8"It's that time of year when my plate is piled high with commissions from people anxious to get in that last minute Christmas portrait of their favorite four legged companion. I hesitate to post these as some are obviously meant as surprise gifts but I was assured that the wife of the commissionee of this pretty marmalade tabby doesn't look at my website (sniff). Anyway this is Jake, one of two cats belonging to my friend Earl. Look for Abbey tomorrow.

what a soulful kitty... I see it in his eyes!
I am constantly amazed at your ability to convey the personalities of your subjects through the variations in expression you capture. Bravo!
Thanks, Diane.
*blush* Thanks, Deb.
Oh so pretty! The coloring is just amazing - and I'm sure you have captured it perfectly. This will be your 1st Christmas in your new home - hope you find it to be "merry and bright"!!!
Mark - What a prescious little kitty and what an incredible gift!
Thanks, Joanne. This Christmas promises to be a magical one albeit not without some new challenges. For instance - Sammy was deep inside the Christmas tree this morning which means no fragile ornaments this year *sigh*
Thanks, Olga. I hope they like it.
Oh wow, this great. I am working on a cat right now in the same pose. Love the brush work.
Thanks, Barry. This pose is ubiquitous. JJ is striking it sitting next to me by the computer.
What a sweet sweet face you captured in your work. Lovely!
Thanks, Cynthia.
Very soft looking, Mark!
Cute!

Thanks, Dean. As much as I like painting animals, I may have to paint some "edgy" stuff soon or I may be painting myself into a corner.
