Looking at classical artworks takes me right back to that time; I start daydreaming about that moment with the artist and his subject. What were they talking about? What did the artist leave out? How long was the subject sitting before their adorable cats jumped into their lap for a cuddle?

I created these "reimagined" artworks using my cute cats, and the famous paintings I love and admire. We run a little TNR (trap-neuter-release) program in our neighborhood and kept these four kittens when they were trapped. They were difficult to tame but we fell in love with them as we got to know them!

I hope you enjoy what I came up with! I'm always interested in working with others' pets and classic paintings too!

These paintings are absolutely delightful I could frame every single one of them and make my very own gallery. I would dearly love to be able to paint.
