Cat Portrait

Here is my latest cat pet portrait. I choose this image to paint because it is a bit different. The pose was unlike any others I had painted. I think it shows a bit of the cat's personality also.

Pet Portrait

8x8, original oil

I was intrigued to paint this pet portrait using this neat perspective. The colorful rug in the background really brings his grey coat alive.

My Spot

My Spot

12 x 24 inches, oil on panel

I stated this painting a couple weeks ago, but had to put it aside to finish some other paintings. The cat is painted with painting knives and originally, I thought I might complete the entire painting using knives. But today is another day and most of the remainder of this painting was painted with brushes. The photo doesn't really show all the heavy texture on the fur of the cat, but in person it really shows up. Contact me to purchase. View more of my paintings on my website: SpohnStudio.com

Pet Portraits, Black and White Cat

Donna's Cat

7 x 7 (oil on board)

My friend and fellow artist, Donna, displayed this portrait of her cat (Lightning) that I painted last month, in her booth while we were showing at our recent show in Las Cruses, NM. She had so many customers interested in the painting, that she sent them over to my booth to inquire about pet portraits. So for a limited time, you too can have your pet immortalized in oil paint in an artsy manner, like Donna's cat, Lightning. Send me several good photos (preferably head shots) by e-mail, or if you prefer, regular postal mail (PO Box 1231, Salida, CO 81201) Please write down your pet's true eye color, as it is often difficult to discern in a photo. Also, please include your e-mail address or phone number in case I have additional questions. These will be pet portraits done on 7 x7 board and they will only cost $85.00, including free shipping in the Continental USA. (if you would like a larger size portrait, such as a 15 x 15 the cost will be $225.00 and there will be a small shipping charge)

Send me the name of your pet also, so I can title the painting. Send your information to:

susanmspohn@gmail.com

To pay for your pet portrait here on-line, just click the size of portrait you want and then the  BUY NOW button below, and make sure you leave you address, e-mail and phone #. I look forward to receiving your pet photos!

Charlie

Charlie (the roof-top kitty)

5 x 7

oil on board

Today's painting is from a reference photo I took of Charlie, our stray, feral cat that lives on our roof outside of my painting studio. He is sort of a scruffy looking cat, normally dirty from rolling in the dust, but a large cat, now over-weight since he gets regular meals. He has the ability to jump from roof-top to roof-top across our neighbors houses and sheds. He has striking yellow-green eyes, and a nice pattern of gray spots on his overall white fur. This painting is for sale for $55.00 and includes free shipping in the Continental USA. Contact me by e-mail for more information: susanmspohn@gmail.com
