High Jinks a cat painting by Diane Hoeptner


High Jinks  Oil on wood  8" x 8"  SOLD
Another little lovely available for adoption at the Cleveland Animal Protective League...  As much fun as I've had painting Coco (on pattern, on the prowl etc...) these APL cats present an new set of challenges that are infinitely interesting.  My desire to capture each one efficiently and accurately seems to be encouraging a less timid approach to brushwork...  and I'm all for that.

    This is one of my all-time favorite paintings of yours! I hope to see it come back as a print? I keep looking for your print shop to show back up in your tabs. :)

    What a sweet face! I'm always impressed with your ability to capture a cat's personality with lovely soft brushwork.
