Anticipation - Original Oil Painting of a Siamese Cat Mix

Another pretty kitty from Petfinders.  Looks like a Siamese mix of some sort.  I liked the look of anticipation on this cat's face!  Another fun study in whisker application : - )

Tuxedo Cat Profile - Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Today's cat looks just like my Luna!  But it is not, it is Chipie, a tuxedo babe I found on Petfinders.  The coolest thing about tuxedo cats (besides how nice they are) are their white whiskers.  They are large and in charge, those white whiskers!  I painted this cat and before putting the whiskers on, the painting was only half finished - that's how important whiskers are on these tuxedo cats : - )

Blue Eyed Siamese Cat - Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

I have been wanting to paint a Siamese cat with blue eyes!  I love the look on today's model with his sweet and curious expression.  I worked on getting some contrast in the painting, a darker background on the lighter side of the cat's face and a lighter background on the darker side of the face, to make the cat's face pop more.

Grey Cat Gaze

I enjoyed painting this lovely grey cat.  Another cat from Petfinders, this one is named Rita.  Adopt a cat!  One can never have too many : - )  Original oil painting on gessoboard measuring 6 by 6 inches.

This painting and all of my others are available on my Daily Paintworks Gallery page HERE.  Thanks for looking!

Playtime!

This is the look I get when my little Morticia wants to play.  All big round eyes!  I hadn't painted in two days and was feeling a little blah today, but I forced myself out to the studio and this painting practically painted itself!  How nice : - )

Trick or Treat!

I had to laugh when I saw this white cat with the black Halloween mask!  I had to paint it : - )  I worked hard today to get a little smoother look to my painting.  I deployed a fan brush to do some blending and that worked nice.  So to get you in the mood for Halloween, here is Trick or Treat.

Spooky!

I'm calling today's black cat "Spooky" since it's that time of year : - )  I like the darker background on this little guy, with just a little light around him.
