"Warm and Cozy", 11x14, oil on linen panel-Note- This painting is not for sale.
Although I am a cat lover and have 2 pet cats, I have never attempted to paint a cat until today. I decided that this year I will no longer shrink away from painting subjects that scare me because of my inexperience. I am happy with this- my first cat painting, as it conveys the message of warm and coziness that I had been trying to produce.
Back in my home in Pennsylvania, we had three fireplaces, and one was a huge walk-in fireplace with stone hearth and an antique crane and welcome window. I had a copper pot hanging on the crane that invited the feelings of coziness and warmth that I tried to convey in this painting. We could use a fireplace in Florida right now!
Brrrr!!!! It's even frigid here in Florida today! Stay warm and Happy New Year!

This is beautiful. No need to shy away from painting cats! You just know she's loitering near the pot to savor the aromas of a simmering supper. Right about now my hands are ice cold from the 'low' thermostat and frigid outdoor temps, so a toasty cat painting was very attractive.
