Alter Ego kitty dreams of tiger chasing mouse

Alter Ego  Oil on wood  6" x 6"  $95.

One time we brought home a treadmill that had been stored in my Mother's barn.  The treadmill carried a passenger...a mouse who made a mad dash across the kitchen floor upon arrival.  Layla the cat who had only a vague interest in the treadmill -saw the mouse and pounced.  There was no thought and no befuddled consideration.  She went from sassy pants to predator in a split second.  It was pure animal instinct at its finest.  My husband snatched up Layla and tossed them outside. I'm afraid it wasn't a happy ending for the mouse.

Sweetheart valentine's day kitten painting

Sweetheart  Oil on wood  6" x 6" $95.

I always have an active list of "designy" things I want to try in my art.  Painting cats (instead of floral still lifes) seems to have opened the flood gates on getting some of those ideas out of my head and onto panel and I'm really enjoying it!   Coco-kitten looks a little clueless here as kittens often are, but he's still a sweetheart.

On a Ledge  Oil on wood  6" x 6"  SOLD

I painted this cat before here.  He's not a kitten and not quite an adult yet--and still growing into those long limbs.  Special thanks to Love-and-Hisses for providing the great photo reference.

Catnip Thug small oil painting gray cat on pink

Catnip Thug  Oil on wood  6" x 6"  $95.

Coco isn't really a "Catnip Thug."  Truth be told, he waits until our other cat Layla has at it, then he politely takes his turn with the left overs.  This painting completes a series of four that I'm really proud of, see the other three (all sold!) below.
