The slide show above contains images from Catnap. The original paintings are 12x14 inches, watercolor and mixed-media on paper.

 

I'm often asked how long it took to do each painting. Some, a day or two, others up to two weeks, depending on technique and complexity. The painting closest to my natural style as a painter is the Realist Cat (Thomas Eakins), which only took a day and a half for me to paint. The hardest painting technically for me was Neoclassical Cat. The very first painting in the series was Renaissance Cat, pictured above.
