Esmerelda (2004) |
|
| Portrait of the my Munchkin calico cat, on an antique doll chair. Esmeralda is quite a character. She is a dwarf cat along the look and lines of a dachshund, though she would be offended by the comparison! | ||

Bud (2006) |
|
| Portrait of Bud, one of the horses belonging to the artist's daughter. When my daughter was 7 years old, she couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t let her have a horse that was being given away for free. I told her horses are expensive to take care of, and when she is grown and gets a job, she can get one. So she did. | ||

The Christmas Kitty (2007) |
|
| My cats are always underfoot, “helping.” This portrait of my Siamese cat Felicity was "self-posed" in a stack of pine wreaths during our Christmas decorating. She was good enough to stay until I snapped a photo, which was the reference for this work. This image also available as a Christmas Card. More Details | ||
