Cats in Art (Part 2)
A while back I made a post called Cats in Art which can be viewed here. It was my plan, at the time, to make this a regular feature. If not weekly perhaps on a monthly basis. Obviously that didn’t happen as it’s been over SIX months since that first post! But I digress.
I’m planning on doing a painting of The Fur Babies this weekend. I’ve threatened it before, but this time I mean business. It’s shocking really that I’ve never gotten around to doing a painting of them. I’ve only ever painted a cat once, it was a few years back, ironically it was before we were even pet parents 
This is it.
It was a Tom cat that used to wander through our backyard (when we had one) on his way to more interesting destinations.
Anyway, I’m thinking of going more modern with my next effort. More painterly. I don’t know.
I feel very inspired by this painting by Nicolas Tarkhoff.
It’s called Black Cat on the Window Rail.
The way the cat is sitting on the window reminds me of the way Oliver and Poppy sit on our sitting room window and watch the birds as they fly past!
The painting below is called The Radish Hunt. It reminds me of the way Poppy like to stalk anything that looks vaguely similar to a small animal! I like the illustrative style in this too.
I’m torn between the two styles! Well I’ll just get stuck in to it an we’ll see what happens. Here’s the proverbial blank canvas I’ll be working on…
Here’s Oliver checking it out…
And now it’s Poppy’s turn…
They are SO nosey! Anyway as you can see it’s not that big a canvas, so I should get something done over the weekend.
I’ll post the result as soon as I’m done.
Wow, this is great! The look in his eyes is fantastic. You really captured the light and details, he looks like he’s moving. Great work, and your fur babies are adorable. My kitty is named LuLu the terrible.
I look forward to seeing what you do with the new canvas, I’m glad I found you. Have a great weekend.
Hi Heather, thanks for stopping by
