I do love black cats! Meet Eric. This is the first time I’ve painted a cat on an oval canvas. So when Eric’s human asked me to do an oval painting I jumped at the chance. It’s surprisingly tricky it turns out. Your eye is thrown a little as you’re painting. The gold behind him…

5 star review from Kit M.: a lovely treasure Denise is a past-master at getting just the right expression on her subject’s face. She did a wonderful job with Freddie, my Maine Coon. When I look across the room to where his picture is perched, I almost expect him to speak to me.He’s gone now…

This very handsome maine coon cat is Ishara. He looks rather debonair dont you think? That fine stripey coat and that paw tucked under just so. It’s that lovely lion look maine coons have. He is a commissioned portrait and I really enjoyed painting him. He’s flown off to his new home.

I loved doing this commissioned portrait of Nigel, he has a fantastic expression! With his lip raised over his tooth and that quizzical look he seems to be pouring scorn on his humans. As of to say…. what DO you think you’re dong? :-D What a character!

A recent commission. This is Tom, a gorgeous ginger burmese cat relaxing in the sun on the floor. Cats always know the sunniest spot.

This is one of the Christmas commissions and one of my favourite paintings too. I just loved painting these two beautiful cats and the semi abstract nature of the piece too. In fact I loved them so much I would have happily kept this on and hung it on my wall. Sadly though, I had…

A commissioned portrait of Archie. This is his ‘don’t touch me’ look. He is quite acharacter and I thought he’d look good against a blue background to set of that ginger fur. He is painted in oils on a 16×12 inch board and then floated in a shadowbox frame, so that the board throws a…

This was a recent painting commission, a gorgeous lilac burmese cat called Beau. He’s sitting in his basket looking up at us.

This is Radcliff and Luna and I was asked to paint them as a wedding gift. Luna doesn’t like to get too close to Radcliff so we had her just peeping into the painting from a cautious distance. This is a 16×12 inch acrylic painting on a panel. And this gorgeous photo of the family…

I thought I’d share with you the process of painting Pumpkin in watercolour. The brief was to do her in the style of one of my sheep paintings, which are very loose and splashy. I haven’t done any cats at all in that style so it’s a bit challenging. But here goes…. This is stage…

I’ve been working on two very different paintings of Exotic cats recently, Pumpkin and Star. It’s very exciting as it’s part of a painting swap with my friend the very talented artist Tamsin Lord. She’s painting my three bengals. For Star, Tamsin wanted one of my more modern, abstract style of paintings. Star is black…

Another recent siamese painting. This is Cuthbert sitting on a step in front of the lavender. A very elegant cat and I wanted to get that elegance in his pose. It was also a good excuse to get out my wonderful Holbein Aqua Oil Cobalt Violet. A very expensive colour but so gorgeous. This is…

This is Annabella, a stunning Burmese cat. Isn’t she just amazing? Her colouring is so pretty and delicate, she was quite a challenge to paint. She is a tortoiseshell and her creamy coat has blue/lilac tones in it. But against that lush, red background her coat really seems to glow. The reds were a difficult…

Isla is certainly a beautiful cat but she is also a very tricky cat to paint.

This portrait took me a while to complete but she is such a beautiful cat and she has the most lovely eyes. Aila SOLD It’s a very interesting pose, with the sun coming through her ears and the angle of her head means we’re looking up into her eyes. It took some time to come…

Bob curled up in his basket in the sun. A lovely pose which really shows off his eyes but tricky to paint because part of him is in bright sunshine and part in shadow. Grey cats are perhaps the most difficult in terms of colour too. They have a lot of subtle colours in their…

This commission to paint Ness, Vienna, Rigsby and Bob took me a while to complete. Their owners, Stuart and Jane, wanted the four of them curled up together but Ness doesn’t like having her photo taken! So I needed to come up with a pose that included all four cats even though we couldn’t get…

Another of the Christmas commissions is Frank. I rather fell for Frank as I was painting him. He looks to be quite a character. He was also a lot of fun to paint as he’s sitting partly in sun and partly in shade and the colours in his fur change with the light. A close…

This is Billy lying in the sun, one of the Christmas commissions. Billy is one of my favourite models. He and his two brothers are such handsome meezers! This painting was a surprise for his owner from her other half. This was a 16 x 12 inch painting and it looked wonderful in a solid…

Beautiful Tinky sits in her favourite spot in the garden, dreaming mice dreams among the flowers. I bet that rock gets wonderfully warm in the sun.
