Cats in Oil Pastel

Colorful cat paintings and cat wall art in oil pastel.

My oil pastel cats are less about capturing every detail and more about capturing a feeling. I use bold color, loose marks, pattern, and plenty of texture to turn each cat into a character of its own.

Some are sweet, some are serious, some are a little strange. Just like cats should be.
