Fine Cat Art
Is there such a thing as fine cat art? Well, I certainly think so.
I have been painting since I was three years old and my favorite subjects have always been animals.
Many artists paint beautiful animal portraits, and I have done my share of them as well through the years. But somewhere along the way I began to feel I'd like to make my paintings more artistic. And so I began to paint cats against beautiful backgrounds - often even rather abstract backgrounds, but as long as the background supports the beauty of the cat, I feel this has been a good choice.
If you click on the thumbnail of a painting on this page, it will take you to the page where you will see the painting itself, a story of the cat in the painting, and photos of the work in progress.
These fine cat art paintings are full of tiny details done with the smallest of miniature brushes (I love details as you can see in the work in progress - photos on each page...). This means the painting process is quite time consuming. If the paintings are for sale, you will see "for sale" written next to them. if you like the painting but it is not for sale, you will find a link that makes it possible for you to get prints of the painting.
I hope my love for cats shows in my paintings as well, and I hope you enjoy them. If you wish to comment on them, each page has is own comment section at the end of the page.
(If you are interested in having your cat painted into a portrait, you can send me a private message using the "Contact me" form - you will find it if you look to the red navigation buttons on the left of the page, fourth one from the bottom.)

Toyger Turning
Here this beautiful Toyger cat has heard something interesting and turns towards the viewer. A digital painting in a more sketch-style, done with a Wacom tablet. An interesting way to paint - after a while you forget you are not working on traditional paper or canvas, and you need your artistic skills just as much as with traditional brush and paints.

Tutankhamun: In My Own Hieroglyphs tells the story, for older children, of the life and afterlife of the famous young pharaoh in his own words. Tutankhamun tells us about the trouble he got into as a child in Akhenaten's palace in the new city of Akhetaten, and how he became a boy pharaoh. As we learn, his life changed a lot when he died as a teenager, and long years of boredom started in his tomb with only his pet monkey Fingers and his treasure for company. He did meet some of the Egyptian gods, of course, and had fun scaring off tomb robbers, but it was mostly rather dull. Then one day, some new and strange people, including a Mr. Howard Carter, arrived and began to take all the treasures out of his royal tomb. Fortunately, through the eyes of his beautiful golden mask, Tutankhamun, could have fun again traveling around the world |
