The Paintings of CatWorks (2024)

2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025

From mid-summer 2015 through today, 200 new works have been created - a fair to high percentage of them have sold. I will now be producing approximately about 4 to 6 new paintings each quarter. They will all be revealed HERE. If you are interested in price and availability please email me here or by using the contact button above. I will then fill you in on available inventory and the price range.

All of my paintings are created in acrylics either on Ampersand Hardwood Panels with a 1 1/2” birch cradle or high quality gallery wrapped canvas. My first series of painting were created in the 36” x 48” size. In the last few years I have reconfigured my preferred painting size to square. Specifically 36" x 36", 30” x 30” and 24” x 24”. All of my 23 new painting for 2023 and forward have been created at the 30”x30” size. They are all completely original and, of course, one of kind. The panels are prepared with multiple coats of gesso and then a molding paste is applied to areas that will have heavy texture. Recently I have used the technique of pouring flat white latex directly and thickly to areas of the hardwood panels or gallery wrapped canvas. The painting themselves are extremely detailed and with each completed work the detail seems to grow. Like my digital work these painting are easy to live with and will make you smile. The other thing, is that all of paintings are meant to be touched and the texture explored with your fingers...to find yet another level of enjoyment.

Oh shit

This painting was was completed on March 28, 2025, 30”x 30”, acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas.
This is his story…Roy Lickenfur was one of the founders of the POP movement. He was still defining his technique when this painting was completed. He later removed his realistic feline imagary in favor of comic books tracings, bold line and Ben-Day dots. Lickinfur’s later paintings blurred the line between painting and printing, fine art and mass media and brought American pop culture into the gallery. He and Andy Warbutt were constantly accused of plagiarism for borrowing, stealing and copying other artists work.

BELIEVE (face tight)

This painting was was completed on Feb 1, 2025, 30”x 30”, acrylic on hardwood.
I always wanted to do a close-up of the BELIEVE subject. Here it is.

This is his story…Frankie "the glove" takes his position, nervous yet hopeful, his time has arrived.
The picture called BELIEVE stands for seasonal rebirth and the immortally of youth.
Spring training's idyllic land of hope and dreams has begun.

The mystic

This painting was was completed on Feb 20, 2025, 30”x 30”, acrylic on hardwood.
This is his story…Mad Mikey was more than a handful; girls, drugs, the weird books, the avian sacrifices.
It had to come to an end. Many of his peers thought him distant…there at the end.
But by then, the damage was done…The Mystical Society of the Felines - once ‘the word of magical truth’….was now a relic of the past.
And he was to blame

alexander: the feline who Knows

This painting was was completed on March 1st, 2025, 30”x 30”, acrylic on hardwood.
This is his story…Alexander: The Feline who Knows was born into a large family of magic  loving scoundrels on March 3, 1880.
He rose above his family’s cheap parlor tricks to become a popular and highly paid stage mentalist and feline seer.
Alexander promoted his psychic art as a form of mental telepathy or mind reading.
Even in our enlightened day many of his conjurings remain mysterious.

Here is a work in progress
