Who's your favorite kitty?

Here's my good buddy, Stickers, the neighborly cat who has appeared in a recent blog post along side my dog, Penny. He's a cool guy, friendly, unflappable (I've seen him stroll through a barrage of angry blue jays with nary a twitch of his whiskers), completely at ease with himself and the world.

He can usually be found lolling in the grass under a shady bush, or rolling in the gravel on our driveway, getting a little shiatsu massage. I recently used this photo above as the basis for a series of  cat paintings, all 12"x 12" done in acrylic. I sometimes give myself these 'assignments' to create a small body of work. In this case, I hadn't done any painting in awhile so I needed the practice. Below are the five interpretations of Stickers, although he is really a model to represent a universal cat.
If you read this blog, just for fun, please vote for your favorite version of Stickers and let me know either here or in e-mail or Facebook. I will let you know who the winner is. Stickers is also dying to know. Penny does not care.

1)  Basic ginger cat (the colours probably represent his sunny personality).

2) Russian Constructivist Cat

 3) Goth Cat

4) Blue Cat

5) Minimalist Cat

You know, I forgot to pay my model. Maybe a nice sardine is in order..........
