"Puddinface Study No. 1" 5x7, oil on board

This is my cat, Hobbes, in a very Hobbes pose.

He unfortunately passed away almost two weeks ago...it was extremely sad and I will miss him. (As will my other cat.)

This is a study in preparation for a larger painting starring my little Hobbsie.

My sincerest sympathies over your loss of Hobbes, Carey. I love this study. It really shows off your distinctive brush work. Can't wait to see the larger painting.

Hi Carey,

Found you over at wet canvas. So sorry about your loss! I lost my precious cat Boris back in March. It took a while to get over it. Now I have 2 more cats who look just like him but are very different. I'm wondering if you are related to artist Lois Griffel? I read her book, "Painting the impressionist landscape" over and over.

She's a wonderful plein air artist.

By the way...yes you do appear to be very painterly. Wish I was.

Thank you for having a look at my paintings and for stopping to comment, I always appreciate that!

I'm not related to Lois (that I know of), but thanks for the mention as I had a look at some of her work and was really impressed with her use of color in particular.

Thanks for the nice comments!
