  • Feline inspection of a recent painting…

    April 23, 2025

    These days I am working on a variety of paintings. I am starting to really like working big. And I was curious how a pet portrait would do at a larger scale. It is not based on any particular cat that I know personally, it was just a fun project. Life of an artist is not easy, because all works have to go through some serious scrutiny before they are deemed satisfactory. Of course, there was only one, who could truly inspect and judge this particular painting: our own little Mitsy. These photographs show the final canvas on board and also give an impression of size…. Scroll down for the final verdict…

    Phase 1…. Presentation of work to the jury
    Judge enters the room…
    Giving it a good sniff…
    Taking a closer look…
    Giving me ‘the look’, because the painting still needs some final touches here and there (a nervewrecking moment!) ….
    But finally, the verdict: Approved!!!
