"Puddy Tat says, 'Come Closer'" (12"X16", Oil on Canvas, SOLD)
This was another Posthumous portrait. Puddy Tat was a beloved cat and the owners wanted to be sure that she was memorialized with a painting. The wife in the couple is quite a good photographer and so was able to provide a very nice photo to work from. I think the result is quite good and Puddy's owners thought so, too. They also bought some note cards with this image, but haven't been able to send any of them. I suppose in time they'll be able to let them go in the mail.
I like the delicate natural lighting and the sense of feline calm that comes across in this painting and adds to the dignity of the animal. I also like the playful paw reflected in the polished floor.
