Cat Art Exhibit. Welcome to The Tiniest Tiger’s Gallery

January 21, 2012 | Author Gracey

Welcome Friends to my first art exhibit.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

After I displayed my first painting, A Cat Artist’s Interpretation of an Amur Tiger, that I created using my iPad and the Paint for Cats app by Hiccup, I could not believe the outpouring of support for my art.

I truly appreciate your kind words so I thought I would try to paint some more of the things that inspire me. This required a lot of thinking time and play time with my TipsyNip Tickle Pickle.

It took me quite some time to find the right color combinations to convey my interpretation of what inspired me and to then get the paint on the canvas. I sure hope you like my paintings too.

Welcome to The Tiniest Tiger’s Gallery!

My Inspiration:

Jaguar Image courtesy of Patrick MeierMy Inspiration

One of my favorite big cats, the Jaguar. The perfect balance of strength and beauty. This image was caught on camera by wildlife photographer Patrick Meier.

I love all the tones of green along the river bank.

My Painting: Jaguar in the Jungle

My Inspiration:

Sometimes humans, including my parents squeal when they see cute little pink noses and toes on kittens and cats.

I myself have a pink nose but I have a bit of a stain just like a tiger.

My Painting: Pink Nose and Pink Toes

My Inspiration:

Lions drinking water photo by Greg du Toit

Last July we had the amazing experience to visit Kenya. We loved everything, the sights, the sounds, the smells. We all know how important water conservation is for the survival of all species from the biggest to the smallest. This image reminded me of the importance of drinking water for all earths creatures.

My Painting: Lions Drinking Water

My Inspiration:

As the sun sets across the savanna and even in our own back yards, nocturnal predators begin to prowl.

My Painting: Night Hunt

My Inspiration:

Tipsy Nip Organic Catnip Products Tickle Pickle

Whoa! This is my interpretation of what happens when I play with my TipsyNip Tickle Pickle. I have heard some humans discussing that they wonder what we cats see and feel after playing with some potent nip. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand meows.

My Painting: Too Much Nip!

Thank you so much for stopping by my gallery.
I would love to know which painting is your favorite and why it stood out from the rest for you.

All of them are strikingly beautiful! I guess if I had to pick one, I would go with Pink Nose and Toes. I’d love to see what can be done with shades of burgandy, black and white. What a wonderful idea to sell them to help out our cousins! You have such a caring heart, Gracey!

These are all so beautiful, Gracey, but I think my favorite is the *Jaguar in the Jungle*. Keep up the great work. I am glad I will always be able to say that I knew you before you were a famous artist

  Thank you Elizabeth. How is Peanut Butter doing? I am thinking of her and sending out positive thoughts and prayers for her and you.

All of your artwork is wonderful, Gracey! Very hard to choose a favorite, but I will pick “Jaguar in the Jungle”. The various shades of green really evoke the feel of the jungle.

  Thank you Buddysmom!! The Jaguar in the Jungle is very popular. The green colors are very soothing to the eyes I think. xoxox

Oh Gracey, they are all so beautiful! I guess I would have to choose the Jaguars in the Jungle as my first choice. Perhaps it is because it is the first one that I saw. However, I would buy all of your prints if they were for sale. You are a talented artist with a real visual sense!

  Thank you both! Do you squeal too when you see little pink noses and toes? Bromi has a good eye.
Krystina

I don’t know which one is my favorite! They’re all great! Though I have to say I do like Night Hunt a lot though. I guess that might be my favorite. It just captures the title perfectly!

My favorite is pink nose and pink toes. I am one of those humans who squeal at the sight of both pink noses and pink toes. I also like Lions Drinking water…the colors are very nice.

Hmmm, it’s very difficult, but I’d have to say “Night Hunt” is my favorite, followed very closely by “Jaguar in the Jungle.”

  Thank you Janet. Night Hunt is one of my favorites too. I love the greens in Jaguar in the Jungle.
