black barn cat in watercolor painting, "Master Mouser"

black barn cat in watercolor 8 by 10 inches on Arches watercolor board © Maria Reichert


I've know some interesting barn cats from when I first started to ride horses, Butter and Cream, Kitty, Mamma Kitty, Tiger, Soda (that might have been a bunny!?), had a few clinic kitties at my vet clinic, Iris (missing one eye), Tootsie (missing a few toes) Pinny (with a pin in her femur). This one is the latest feline character I have met, don't know his name, I will call him "the Master Mouser". This is watercolor 8 by 10 inches on Arches watercolor board

    Thank you Laurie, I try to entertain myself while my daughter rides her horse, usually means I stalk the horses, dogs, and cats of the barn, taking pictures, and thinking of painting them!

    Thank you Jennifer! I will spray this with gloss Krylon UV varnish, so it will not need to be behind glass when framed.
