Guard Cat oil painting Diane Hoeptner

Guard Cat  Oil on wood  14" x 11"
Diane@DianeHoeptner.com
Our cats Coco and Layla have abandoned sleeping in the bedroom at night.  Instead they patrol the sliding glass doors that go to the backyard.  They've lead sheltered mostly indoor lives.  Since the weather got warm, they spend much time waiting for (wild) neighborhood cats who visit.  Upon sighting them--Coco's been known to throw a hissy fit, ruffling the curtains and generally getting very bent out of shape.  Layla remains calm but she's rapt with attention.   They never miss a visit.

    This is lovely, as with all your florals. I like the silhouette of the guard cat, it adds such a fun story to it.

    Wonderful blues in that iris! Such lush and luscious paint!

    Love the story about the cats. The visit is probably the highlight of their day!
