Scuzzy Cat Plate

ceramics, pet portrait / / / , ,

Now for something entirely new: a ceramic plate!

My in-laws were visiting recently, and we all went to the Clay Cafe. This is our favourite place to hang out as a family of artsy people, and we try to go whenever they visit.

This was my little piece for this round: a little plate of my kitty, Scuzzy. It was so fun to paint! The glazes feel so different from watercolours or gouache, but they overlap enough that I really enjoyed using them. (Unlike acrylics haha!) I definitely have a lot to learn, but I’m very happy with the outcome!

Hellooooo

pet portrait, watercolor, watercolour / / / , , ,

It’s been forever since I last painted on wood, and it was so satisfying! This is a portrait of my youngest kitty, Sparc. He’s a very chaotic, friendly guy who is absolutely obsessed with pets. I tried to capture his silly, friendly personality with this portrait.

Mini Cat Rugs

pet portrait, rug tufting / / / , ,

Here are some orange tabby cats and blue tabby cats! These mini rugs are around 7-8” across. I was again focusing on getting the details even and clean at this tiny size. The eyes are always the biggest challenge at this tiny size, because there’s really no wiggle room before the eyes look skewed. I think this batch definitely turned out the best so far!

I’m retiring this design after this batch, so be sure to snag one of these guys if you really want this design.

These mini rugs are available at RB Studio & Gallery here in Fredericton!

Rainbow Ragdoll Cat Sticker

This little Ragdoll kitty design was highly requested. I decided to go with a tux style look, because I have a weakness for blazes hahah!

Small Tux Cat Rugs

pet portrait, rug tufting / / / , ,

I have a huge soft spot for tabby cats, but I wanted to show some appreciation for other kitties, too. My first ever cat was a tux with a blaze, and I still think tuxes are the most striking of kitties.

These kitty friends will be available at the Capital Art Sale, happening NOW until May 21st at 1400 Prospect St, in the Uptown Sobeys Plaza in Fredericton! Be sure to swing by and take a look at all the amazing work from local artists!

Mini Orange and Blue Cat Rugs

These little kitties were another experiment to see how much detail I can cram into a tiny rug! They measure about 8” across and are created from the same pattern as my latest 30” rainbow tabbies! I had to simplify the markings a bit, but they turned out surprisingly well!

Ink and Watercolour Tux Cat Portrait

pet portrait, watercolor, watercolour / / / , , , ,

This gorgeous kitty is a commission for one of my very first rainbow portrait clients! She wanted a portrait of her newest kitty in a similar style to her other two which I painted waaaaaay back when I was just learning watercolour and really leaning on ink work.

It was incredibly fun to create details with ink again. I’d really love to go back to exploring incorporating ink as a supporting element in my rainbow portrait, but we’ll see how far it goes.

Small and Mini Blue Cat Rugs

pet portrait, rug tufting / / / , ,

Just like the orange kitty rugs, these two are an experiment with scaling down my larger 30” rug design. I think the bigger blue kitty turned out the best of the four cats, but the little one is pretty darn cute, too. It’s amazing how a simple palette swap can change the whole mood of a piece.

One of these kitties has already found a home, but the other is available at RB Studio & Gallery here in Fredericton!
