Above I have shared a couple of photographs I have taken of our cats, which I call my black panthers - they are happy, playful house cats, loving their home comforts and scratch posts, not forgetting boxes lol, cats love a box, especially Mina. They are a brother and sister and I cannot believe that they turned 12 this year!
They are siamese and tabby mixed, even though they are black in the light you can see their tabby markings.
Abui, the male, the siamese is very distinctive especially in his face and vocalisation - I love the fact they talk to us! He loves cuddles and affection. They are both very playful but Mina, the female has a proper strut on her to which there is no denying she is a girl! A cat with a cool attitude. He is so handsome and she is a little cutie, but I am biased, I think cats have such characters and they know when you are in need of more cuddles!
What a pleasure and honour to be approached to be included in such a wonderful book all about Cats in Art.
I love this book, how it highlights cats in history to present time, and how the cats have been depicted throughout history and in paintings.
It is very interesting and beautifully illustrated. I love how cats have always been around, loved, having such characters and that cats can be found depicted in art all over the world.
UPDATE Covid-19 - I hope you are staying safe, well and looking after each other.
Due to the Corona virus with advise from the government and Heath minister, regrettably all my events have been cancelled for this year until further notice. I will update you when I know more.
I am continuing to draw, taking on commissions and able to answer any questions and process any purchases you may have. The online shop is always available for you to browse and the postal service is continuing business as usual which is great news!
If you are interested in having a pet portrait or commission done, we can start the process via phone or video conference.
Keep safe and well during these surreal and challenging times, which is affecting us all in different ways, so we must keep positive, stay strong and look out for each other.
