Sketch.... for Colorcat...

Painted this little sketch yesterday just to see if I liked the orange.  Might be too much. I may go with blue and green.... Only the cat knows.... HA!!!

Sketch Cat4

Oh...oh... had so much to do last week that cat-a-day turned into cat-a-week.  No problem.  Sketched this little guy and tomorrow I'll be back on track.

Have a great evening.

Abstract Cat 1

I bought some new, vibrant colors and thought that I'd try a little abstract piece with them.  This guy is 9" x 12" on 140 pound hot pressed paper. He's done in acrylic paint and will be framed in a plain black frame.

I haven't decided on a price for him yet.  He just might go into my abstract collection for future inspiration.

Upside-Down...

I don't know this little guy's name. A friend sent it to me for painting practice.  Thanks Helen. Painting an upside down cat was a challenge.

Cats With Shades #1

This is the first in my new series: Cats With Shades.  This one is painted from a photo of The Great Noodles... that famous DJ on Twitter.

Sketch... Love my mom...

It's Saturday and we all get to be with our mothers... I hope.  Have a great weekend.

Sketching on a Rainy day...

Sketched this cat this morning while the rain was falling and the wind was blowing....  We're having glancing blows from Tropical Storm Andrea.... today... Not too bad right now.  But this guy looks like a cat easy to snuggle up to...

Hope you're having a dry day.

Sketch: Cat on Dock

I think he's watching for turtles in the water.... This is definitely going into my painting list.

Sketch: Cats with Shades

Today... Just a little sketch to bring a smile to your face.  I'm planning a series called Cats with Shades.  This guy just showed up on my sketch pad wanting a place in the line up. 

Brooding..... or pretending to...

This guy has quite an attitude.  He's looking at you.  Wonder what he's thinking.

Sketch: The Family of Cats

 

This one is just a rough sketch of The Family of Cats piece I'm planning to do. It'll be 18 by 24 when I finish.  Seeing this, I've decided to make it with a variety of colors and kinds of kitties...not just Bugsy's and Knuckles's.  Tomorrow I'll begin sketching out the real thing.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by yesterday.... come when you can. I love reading your comments.

Gray Kitty #1

This is Gray Kitty #1... So far he's in pencil and just a sketch.  I'll try him as a regular portrait soon.  At times, it's more difficult to paint cats who are all one color than those with many.  Have to work to get the shading just right.

Have a great day.

Bugsy Sketch on the Carpet

Bugsy on the carpet.... For a few days now, I've been sketching the cats. Unfortunately, my card reader was on the fritz, so I couldn't post them. I'll catch up in the next few days. 

In this pose, he had all his legs and feet tucked in and looked like a meatloaf with a tail and head.  Might make an interesting painting one of these days.
