Cat Series
Inspired by the characters of the very individual felines that
share Marion's life and her studio, this series has grown into a
strong body of work.
Created as larger than life, colorful cats, the paintings portray
a range of moods from restful to playful, to watchful, to predatory!
The series is not only about the nature of cats, but about the feelings
evoked by them.
In real life, the models hardly, if ever, hold a pose for
any length of time, and certainly not if being studied or drawn!
On the other hand, their natural talent for seeking out patches
of warm sunlight, and arranging themselves in a decorative manner
make them fascinating subjects to paint!
The cats' essential grace and beauty is captured in light and color,
using a variety of watermedia techniques on full-sheet (22x30) watercolor
paper. The series also includes a limited amount of smaller (11x15)
paintings. Giclee prints are available where noted, and a series of cards covers most
of the series.
