Day 5

Cat on the Path, 8 x 8" oil on stretched canvas $85

Another portrait of Scooter, this one of his majestic fluffiness in Spring, on the path near the cherry tree, with scattered blossoms.

Day 4

"Cat with Cat Pillow" 12" x 12" gallery wrapped canvas $160 

The cat pillow, a gift from my sister, is larger than life so is somewhat surreal, especially the big eyes.

But Scooter does not seem to be aware of the big cat, it's just another soft thing on the sofa.

I was covering up an old acrylic painting, just to cover it up, with no subject in mind for a new painting when I saw my cat, Scooter, blissfully sleeping on top of the file cabinet.  Cats are geniuses for finding comfort in the oddest places, but they are terrible models because they move just when you want them to be still!  So I quickly started an alla prima painting and grabbed my camera just in time to capture his curled up position, and used the photo to complete.
Cat Nap is 10" x 10", in acrylic.
