Roenie and Gizmo, these are the names of the cats of a dear friend. She loves them to death. So when her boyfriend asked me to paint them for her birthday 2 years ago, I was hesitant.

Painting portraits or pets is a tricky thing. It is like getting a portrait of yourself, you do not think it looks like you at all, whether someone could like it. A cat touches your hart, and if you receive a painting of `the nephew of your cat` (as in: the painting does not resemble at all...), you are not happy.

I took the challenge though and I was really very happy with the result. More important thought, my friend was delighted! Mission accomplished!

The 3rd painting in the series `something different", the roaring cheetah.

Picture sundown, when everything around you turns into this beautiful orange color. At the brink of the evening, the big cats come to life to hunt. This painting has been sold in September 2021.

In the series "something different" the King of the jungle. I painted "lion in the bush" in July 2020. When I look back to it, I probably was in a green period, given the green wild dog I posted last week. Give your comments below! 👇

The 4th painting in the series "something different".

I like to experiment with mixing different styles and techniques. The background was made with the fluid art swipe technique. After a couple of days, when the paint was dry, I draw the buddha head, and it seems to appear out of the blue. It reminded me of the genie from Aladdin 🧞‍♂️.

Canvas 40X50 cm

The coming few weeks I will show some paintings in the series "something different". I painted this is a wild dog in august 2020. During our tip to South Africa, we were lucky to see a pack of wild dogs crossing the road. A little bit less lucky when a dog defecated just in front of my camera. I picked a different picture to paint 🤓.

Wild thing, canvas 80x60 cm.
