My patron contacted me to paint a commission of her, her husband, and their three Borzoi from photos she provided. This was a fun and challenging portrait to paint! I'm pleased to report that she was very happy with the composition.

Quote of the Day
"What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it." --J. Krishnamurti

Cat Portrait Commission

Persian Cat Portrait
Original 16 " x 20" x 0.75" painting
Golden, Liquitex, and Chroma acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas

A patron who's bought several of my paintings asked me to paint a portrait of her three Persian cats. This piece was a lot of fun to paint, and the original photos of the kitties were darling! What characters they must be!

A kind reminder to all: please spay and neuter your pets.
