The Painted Cat
Beach Buddies
Beach Buddies definitely wandered a little off piste, but sometimes those are the paintings that are the most fun to make. It started with the idea of a very cool cat enjoying a sunny day at the seaside, complete with…
That Tabby Stare – Sold
I loved painting this close-up face, with all those beautiful stripes, soft watercolour blooms and one bright golden eye watching the world. There’s something so expressive about tabbies. They can look wise, curious, affectionate and slightly judgemental all at once…
Andy The Mainecoon

Topaz – Angles, Gold and a Little Attitude
Oriental cats are basically geometry with personality. Triangular ears. Fine, sculpted faces. Long lines and strong opinions. Topaz is all of that… but wrapped in warmth. I painted him in layered browns and earthy tones, letting hints of green, blue…
