30 in 30 Challenge in September. Watch for the daily paintings.

 

Sunday, I start another 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge.  Of course, I'm painting cats.  Stop by. I'll be posting them here daily for the month of September.

If you want to read all about it, stop by HH and The Boys.  And if you want to send me a picture, you can send jpgs to me at Lou AT LouBelcher DOT com.

Have a great day. 

KittyScape3: Gone Fishing

I just finished the third in my new series: KittyScapes.  I'll show you #3 first.  It's entitled: Gone Fishing...

I'm loving painting in all these bright colors.

Cat Portraits by Lou

With the holidays coming up.... yep, you heard me.  It's almost August 25th, which leaves 4 months until Christmas... I thought I'd put up a little notice about my cat portraits.  It'd be good to get started now.

I am thrilled to paint your cat.  A 6" X 6" X 1.5" painting is $55.00 plus postage. I will also do custom sizes. Email me at Lou at LouBelcher dot com for an estimate.

All you do is provide a couple good pictures of your cat and I'll be good to go. As I want to be sure to capture the essence of your cat, be sure one of the photos shows his/her eyes.  And, describe any unusual markings that might not show in the picture that you want included.  Also, if you want to tell me something about your cat and his/her quirks, that helps too.

I look forward to hearing from you and look forward to getting to know your cat.

Email me at Lou at LouBelcher dot com and we'll get started on your special portrait.

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.
