Wild Island Cat

8" x 10", oil on canvasboard. $180 USD. Detail below:


I took a photo of this little guy in Nassau, Bahamas. There seemed to be a lot of wild cats on the island and this kitten was very vocal...not sure if he was guarding his territory or if he was just trying to get some food. I like the way he was somewhat camoflaged by all the palm shadows.

Single Mother / Two Kids

I just finished this today. I've only been able to work on it in bits and peices since Christmas due to the holiday runaround and the commissions I needed to finish for clients. I'm so glad it's done! It's inspired by a reference photo I took a couple of years ago at a petting zoo. It's the first of a series of animal paintings I'm working on for a solo show in June to be held at a local pet boutique..."Wag Your Tail", West Chester, PA.

It's been quite a while since I posted...I've been busy working on commissioned portraits for Christmas. I couldn't figure out how to get all the photos together in a manageable way in one post so I broke this up into 3 pts. Enjoy ;)
