Loving Color and the French Impressionists, I have always enjoyed painting landscapes with a palate knife. Being influenced by the impressionist era, I have sold several landscape paintings done with that technique. Portrait painting is also an interest to me. I was commissioned to do the portrait of the Mayor of the City of Sparks Nevada. I have worked with collages using paper as if it were a stroke of paint. I took 1st place in that category in an art contest in Southern California.
Having painted landscapes and portraits in the past, I find that my whimsical “Wine-ing Cats™” paintings have taken me in an entirely different direction. Not always having the subject matter I needed to paint from, one day, I took a free approach to painting a whimsically fun woman with a glass of wine in hand. It was colorful
and spontaneous and it gaveme the freedom to take chances I wouldn’t ordinarily have taken.
That was the beginning of my Wine-ing Cats™
I love color and thinking of how cats are always whining. I decided to do a series of Wine-ing Cats. I have them in different locations around the world. There is no end to my imagination as to where they may end up. My hope is these paintings bring a smile to your face and a bit of humor to your day.
