Cats step lightly. Meow.
I’ve been using ox gall as an underpainting before adding water and ink. It adds a bit of granularity.

In winter, a sunny slep renders a high contrast cat. I like the way the ink fades in this painting.

This cat is an ankle biter, ready to snag whatever walks by when they’re not looking.

The cat moves so quickly, its fur reflecting light as he moves through his cat world, the color fading and deepening in subtle shades of grey to black.

Buck the Cat ponders what’s going on in the other part of the room, perhaps he should investigate.

It never hurts to know what’s in backa ya…ya never know.

I’ve now painted 100 Daily Cats. I started this series in December of 2018, and there’s been a lot of days with no cats painted. Still, I’m pleased to have reached this milestone and will continue the project. I get a little bit better with each painting, see a bit more clearly and gain control of the inky media.
I committed to being a daily painter in 2015 and this has really enriched my life. I see my world as a place to be expressed in a painting, I see colors and movement as I never did before. The painting lifts my spirits and gives me affirmation of my worth and abilities. Painting is a gift I can give to others.
I have trouble painting every day, sometimes circumstances just won’t allow me to do anything but think about painting, conceiving a painted image, observing light and planning how I can represent it on paper. The Daily Cat series gives me the opportunity to paint something that is quickly completed on a regular basis even if I don’t have to have time to paint larger and more substantial work. Even though these little works are small, they still keep me in the daily painting game, moving me forward to the next bigger and more complex painting.

Another day, another cat, but this one’s different. I messed up and painted DC 98 on the back of DC 97. SOOOO, if you buy this painting you’ll get two images for the price of one. You can flip it over when you tire of seeing one side and enjoy the other side for awhile.

It goes without saying, a cat must be tidy.

Cats are tidy animals, they try to keep it neat to make a good impression.

Buck the Cat descends the snowy steps. Cold paws.

The cat gets to rippin’ around the house, too fast to catch, sort of a blur.
