Light Catcher I oil painting of cat

Light Catcher I Oil on wood 6" x 8"

Coco was hand picked by me for his outstanding good looks.  I knew I would paint him the moment I laid eyes on him.  He was the first of his litter to leave.  ...and when I got him home Layla (the first cat) made sure he knew who was boss.  Despite his traumatic beginnings, he's become a fine companion for her and for us.

    Very nice Diane; soft and delicately painted. I can almost feel his fur!
