about a cat

At risk of cat-overload, here's a number of cat-themed paintings.

9 July 2010 - stretch sleep kitty
graphite and gouache on paper, 7" x 10"

10 July 2010 - pizza!
graphite and gouache on paper, 8" x 8"

These next four were conceived as a set, Tenets to the Good Life, by the Small Grey Cat, a Renowned Lifestyle Expert.  They were all done on 13 July 2010 (8" x 8").

Tenet One: Eating

Tenet Two: Sleeping

Tenet Three: Playing

Tenet Four: Getting Attention

The small grey cat scrupulously follows these simple tenets, as the rest of the paintings attest.

15 August 2010 - cat and human-friend

In these last four, the little girl is inspired by my nieces.  The paintings are all 8 1/4" x 12" in size.
