Do cats make good decorations?
I’m the wrong person to ask obviously I say yes! Win one for yourself. Check out the cat giveaway.
I have been a painter all my life. I still use the same painting apron I got when I was 9. Some of my first subjects were my cats. My cats that I have had and adored all my life. I love to paint cats and I deceived to do that again.
My first cat was a black cat I called Puss May. After my grandmother I was 4 or 5. Then there was Mitzy a tabby. One of my first good drawings was of Mitzy sleeping. I did that drawing when I was about 6 or 7. Some members of my family didn’t believe I did the drawing they thought it was too good. I guess that was a compliment.
As I draw and paint these cats I get to enjoy the memories of all the wonderful cats I have know. Deenie the calico so bitch but so smart, Spiff the tuxedo cat, not the smartest but the most loving, Raisinette the beautiful black cat that hid for 6 months but but turned into the most wonderful cat.

  • I like both your subject matter and your work is beautiful! The black cat and the outdoor cat are so adorable. I'm a cat lover too, and I glad Raisinette warmed up to you. My house is decorated with many cats and one of your paintings would be a wonderful addition (fingers crossed ).
