This is nipper, my son and his partners first cat. Sadly, Nipper was taken from them when he was still young. they have wonderful memories of him though and have this painting as another reminder of him.
Thank you Joan. I painted it as far as I could from that photograph, and then I went by What my son told me. He was very pleased with it, thank God. All the best my friend. Vic. P.S. I have just completed another painting of Willy Lotts Cottage. Hopefully I will post it tomorrow.
I started painting around 1990 and loved it straight away.
I started with watercolour,and then after about 15 years I moved to Oils and acrylics. I still paint the odd watercolour to keep my hand in so to speak. I love impressionism. The only time I use detail is when I paint portraits. Otherwise it is my interpretation of the subject.
I am retired but still find it hard to find time to paint. I reckon I can manage to do a painting about three times a week.
Originally I was a Motor Mechanic. Then, for the eighteen years leading up to my retirement, I worked
for Barclays bank.

Vic, I have Nipper's twin. He's 10 years young, and my little buddy.
