This is Teddy, a magnificent red Maine Coon and one of my favourite cats. I love painting him! His fur is so full of colour.

Here’s a close up detail…

And here he is framed.

New this year is The Painted Cat 2011 Wall Calendar! Now you can get your feline fix all through the year with 12 different cats to add colour and feline fun to each month. The calendar is A4, 8 x 11 inches in size. There are 12 pages, 1 page per month, each featuring one of my cat paintings, as well as a cover and a back. It’s wire bound so it’s easy to hang on the wall and change the pages.

The paintings included are Hot Spot, Sugar Plum Fairies, Java, Mother’s Day, In The Pink, The Fishpond, Alice, Sunbathing, Doing The Washing Up, Favourite Toy, Lunchtime and The Carol Singers.

You can see all the pages in more detail, just visit me on flickr and have a look at the calendar’s flickr album.

Buy a 2011 Wall Calendar in the shop. Both UK and USA versions are available.

This is Edina playing in the wrapping paper. A silver Maine Coon cat in pretty pink wrapping, luscious! She’s a beautiful girl. I’ll make this into a new Christmas card.

This is Teddy, a spectacular Maine Coon and a very gentle and affectionate cat. I wanted to put him in a colourful setting that would set off his wonderful coat.

This painting is 16×16 inches and will be in the Society Of Feline Artists show in September.

Harvey is a gorgeous Maine Coon. What a good looking cat! I was lucky enough to paint him for his owner Charlotte. This is a 16×12 inch acrylic painting on stretched canvas.

The  flash  has bounced of the paint a little bit, sorry about that! Here’s a close up of the painting.
