Captivating Oil Paintings of Cats: Three Cool Feline Portraits by Dorothy Annette

My friend, Linda Barney, has three cool cats worthy of portraits, she said. So, I decided to paint all three of them in oil at the same time so the cats would all be in the same environment on the canvas, as they would be at home.


My creative process began with three 9" x 12" canvases. The compositions of the paintings define the individual personalities of the felines. Joey is a gorgeous blue-grey cat with captivating eyes, ears forward, ready to pounce. Sammie Sue is so gentle, unlike the ominous portent of her black fur. The late Mr. T was a fluffy white cat with a regal attitude appropriate for a dignified elder.
