Orange Cat 2



Elaine (that's me) paints only cats. The first oil painting was the result of a search for a unique Christmas gift for my husband - an oil painting of his cat friend "Petunia" - who lived to age twenty. My love of cats; coupled with my respect and admiration for the work of my good friend Paul McFadden, who became my mentor, inspired the folk art painting "Orange Cat", a free spirit once abandoned, he is currently a happy member of our family ... along with three other large cats.

I met Elaine a few years ago but I had known her family since the early 60s. Her dad was a good friend of the family. Joe had a summer cottage across from our house and I used to look forward to their visits each summer. I remember Dad used to bring over fresh fish & lobster. In the fall Joe would bring over treats for us. I remember him as a jovial man who always smoked bug cigars and drove a big black Cadillac.

I was very impressed with Elaine and her cats. I love her paintings and hope you do too!
