Serious Bird Watching

Some cats like to carry things to extremes and Truffy was one of those.  The thought of a bird being anywhere near his home was more than he could bear!  His owner loved birds as well as cats and kept feeders outside the windows for her enjoyment but in this instance Truffy was definitely the winner.  Attached to the outside of the window with a suction cup, this feeder allowed the birds to appear almost as though they were indoors.  Not satisfied with sitting on a sill or the back of a chair, Truffy decided to literally climb the window to get at the cardinal.  Talk about a frustrated cat!  So near and yet so far!  This painting is 24" tall and 18" wide.  It is oil on stretched canvas and is available directly from the artist.  Contact via e-mail....pwhitacre@att.net.  Click on the link to see more paintings on my website.  Enjoy!!!

Shelby

Shelby happened to be sitting in the early morning sunlight when she suddenly looked directly at me providing a photograph of just her face. A beautiful long-haired white cat, Shelby dearly loved to be petted and brushed. She also disliked other cats and wanted nothing more than to be a one person pet. That photo was eventually turned into this oil painting. I love close-ups that give us a really good look at the eyes of either humans or animals. The painting is oil on stretched canvas and measures 12x12 inches. It is available directly from the artist and I can be reached via e-mail at pwhitacre@att.net, Please view my website as well at PegWhitacre.com for other paintings.
