Hello fellow cat lovers :) I am a member of Etsy.com, which for those of you who don't know is a site where people who hand make.. anything! can set up shop and sell the things they love to make. The thing I love to make is paintings! I have done all kinds of paintings, but what I wanted to share here are some paintings I have done of cats! Only two so far, but I hope to do more and more as time goes on. I am new here, so I'm not sure how one might post an image, so for now I will link them:
Here is a painting I did of my kitty Noms. I did it from a mixture of photos of him, photos of other cats for the pose, and from the real thing! He loves to sit by me while I paint and try to bat the brushes out of my hand. Not the most helpful, but he's so cute I can't shoo him away!

Here is a painting of a bengal cat I found online. I was trying to build my portfolio so I had something to show when I advertised myself to do custom paintings.

Here is a painting of a cheetah I did for a friend's sister's birthday. Not a regular kitty cat I know, but big cats are beautiful animals too and share many of the same traits:

(here's the unfinished paining beside Noms, who hasn't got a clue why I think he's so cute sitting there):

If you think you might be interested in a portrait of your little one (or ones!) you can see my etsy shop at http://phillycheesecake.etsy.com. There is a listing there for a 12x12 inch custom painting of any one person or animal. I can go smaller or bigger, you just have to message me to set it up!
I admit this is partially an advertisement, but I hope it also shows my passion for the animal, Cats are my life and I can't imagine living without them. I have never been without at least one cat around and I wouldn't have it any other way!
