Daily Painting Habit Challenge - Day 11 of 21

7 x 5 inches - Oil on Panel - Doggie

I love animals and capturing them for posterity in a portrait is such a treat. What a great gift for someone who is obsessed with their pet!

Because this painting was not commissioned, it is available at a special low price.

My small (8x10 inches or less) commissioned pet portraits are currently on sale (for a limited time) so click here for more information about how to commission a unique and meaningful gift for a loved one who treasures their dog or cat!

Colourful Cat Pet Portrait Oil Painting with Loose Brushwork

Oliver in the Window - 6x8 Oil on Canvas Panel

It is no secret that I love cats. This one is especially beautiful, with his pink nose and creamy white fur. What appealed to me about this pose was the beautiful light effect from the window behind Oliver's head. The orange glow in his ears and sparkle on his whiskers captivated me. I also liked that there was some form with parts of him in light and shadow.
