Two Headed Black Cat Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Today's painting is of a two-headed Tish!  I'm going to be using this painting for my holiday window display at my booth, Pandora's Parlor.  Yes, a cat with two heads is going to fit right in with my twisted Christmas theme, don't ask how ... you'll see!

 This original oil painting is 16 x 20 inches and will be available for sale after the first of the year.

Luna My Tuxedo Cat - Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Today's small painting, 6 x 6 inches, is a study for a large 3 foot by 3 foot painting I'm going to do of my Luna the tuxedo cat.  Luna has the prettiest eyes, they really are the color of a luna moth - that pale greenish yellowish color - so lovely.  I can't wait to try this painting BIG!

My Lou is the sweetest cat with a shy expression - she's a really gentle soul.

Edgar Allen Poe - Black Cat Annabel Lee Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Today's black cat painting is done from a photo of my customer Patty's beautiful black cat Annabel Lee.  Such a pretty kitty Annabel is!  Just a really striking black cat with lovely green eyes.  Patty commissioned me to paint a portrait of Annabel and this was one of the photos Patty sent me.  A closeup photo to show Annabel's collar, but I just loved the pose of Annabel in this so I had to paint this as well as the commission.

This was the commissioned portrait I did of Annabel Lee for Patty ...

And fun in the studio today as my kitties Tish and Luna explore all the dusty corners whilst I paint.

 The intrepid Tishy, always looking for an adventure.

 Hanging out on Pandora's cat climber.

 And Miss Lou getting her pretty face into the picture.

 

A good day in the studio with the ladies!

Three Eyed Black Cat Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Finally the weather is not topping 100 degrees, so back into the studio for some fun.  I painted the blue-green fescue grass that the 3-eyed black cat is looking through.  I'm happy with this one and plan on doing more fantasy and surreal paintings in the future.

This painting is available on my ebay auctions HERE.

3 Eyed Black Cat Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Here is my progress so far on this three-eyed cat painting.  It is Tish in the garden, but with an extra eye : - )  Once it is dry, I want to add some thin grass in front of her.

 Original oil painting on archival gessoboard, 8 x 10 inches.

White Cat with Golden Eyes - Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Another white cat for today : - )  This time I used a dark background for some contrast.  I had a few panels laying around and I gessoed them white for my white cat series.  Much easier to paint a white cat on a white ground!  Today's painting is 6 x 6 inches on archival gessoboard.
