Queen of Cats, character cat no. 4 and why am I painting these?

Queen of Cats  Oil on wood  8" x 8,"  SOLD

I've been on a bit of a detour lately. "Character Cats" is a self imposed assignment. I am taking a stab at more commercial cat art. (and having some fun with it too, btw.) My plan is to paint ten of them (over time.)  ...and then pick the top four and re-work those into something resembling some kind of product art. Either for children's wall decor, use on calendars or cigarette cartons. Kidding. Obviously the details aren't ironed out. The plan is subject to change, most likely without notice. Like a lot of artists, I tend to juggle projects, I thought a clarification was in order. I will share all! Hope it's entertaining at the very least.
