This is the handsome Dali again. I wanted to capture his profile and the dark red background makes a wonderful contrast with his coat. When you see this painting in the flesh (in the paint?) he seems to glow.

This is Sally gorgeous ginger cat. What a yawn! I so loved painting her. Her coat is full of sunshine and she is such a character. Thank you Sally for volunteering her as a model! I do have a weakness for red cats.

Here’s the little zebra painting I’ve been working on. I wanted to capture his profile against a red background and have some fun with colour on those amazing black and white stripes. So I’ve used reds, purples, blues and greens in his black stripes. It makes him glow against the background.

I loved painting him so much I’m going to start another zebra painting today. Maybe a bigger one for the show I’m doing in June.

I have just finished this painting of a curious hen. This girl is quite a character, always to be found in the thick of the action and with an endless curiosity about whatever the humans are doing! Always on the look out for something nice to eat or somewhere interesting to perch.

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.

This is the finished painting of Lola. She is a 20×16 inch oil on canvas. She is such a pretty dog I loved painting her and I think I want to do another painting of her soon. There is something very appealing about English Bull Terriers! ♥

£640

I am donating Lola to Battersea Cats and Dogs Home to raise money for the work they do helping cats and dogs find new loving homes. So she will be for sale and 100% of the sale price will go to Battersea. A very worthy cause!

This is a close up of the canvas…

You can see many different colours are used in her eyes.

She is painted on a deep box canvas and I’ve painted the edges of the canvas so the painting can hang unframed.

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.
