How do you like me now? (SOLD)

Cats can be real jerks, and I'm not into songbird. I put a bell on Shirley to remind her that I don't want no wren right now and I don't touch no thrush. To be a jerk, she keeps bringing them.
 She is in  defiance of the bell concept.

Cat Scratch Fever(SOLD)

Since my dog died I have been paying more attention to my cats. This one in particular. Shirley. I am fastinated by the intense euphoric feeling she apparently  gets digging her claws along the  wood grain. I think I have captured that moment here.

Fur Ball Pole Dancing aka: Pôle de boule de fourrure danse(SOLD)

 I am partially color blind in the blues and greens. I have found it to be beneficial to lay my colors out in the same location on my pallete every time. More men than women are colorblind. I don't know among painters. I am not totally color blind. Just certain shades of blue and green.  This is the replacement cat's dead sister replacement, Lovee. Please see "The Replacement"  Cindy thinks she spells it "Lovey". I try to ignore it.  The Smart Continental thinks everything smells better in French.

Oil on stretched canvas 10"X14" (please forgive me for my sins).
