My Billboard Contest Winner Cat Art

September 15th, 2021

… and the winner is …

Happy to announce that my Let’s Be Homebodies cat painting was selected as one of the Contest Winner by the jury of Fine Art America on the 2021 Billboard Contest, and will be appearing on a Billboard in the fall of 2021 throughout United States, in one of the major metropolitan areas e.g. Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta etc.. )

Thank you so much for everyone who voted for my 3 paintings ( Bougainvillea in Obidos Portugal and Ocean Spirit ) to help me to reach the required votes to became one of the finalists from the thousands of contestants, and big thanks also to the panel of judges of Fine Art America to select my cat art!

Let’s be homebodies is the title of my cat paintings I made at the beginning of the pandemic, related to the current situation we suddenly found ourselves with the coronavirus outbreak.

From the description:
Just another tranquil day for these five beautiful cats, who are enjoying their usual view in the sunny windows sill and also the safety of their home. I received a lovely photo very timely, so my painting can tell us an important message. If they can do it and practice as a lifestyle against their nature, so can we, at least till is needed in these difficult times. Stay safe and stay at home, Let’s Be Homebodies! Protect your community, your family, friends and loved ones, so then we can embrace soon the beauty of the world again.. Together…

I am super happy that my watercolor kitties will make it from the safety of the room till a Billboard in the US!

Blue Cat Art going to Fundraiser

November 10th, 2017

I am excited to share with you, that tomorrow a print of my bestseller Blue Cat with Goldfish painting is going to be a part of a Fundraising and Silent Auction event titled Must Love Cats in Miami, Florida organised by The Cat Network, Inc., with special guest John Fulton star of the Animal Planet’s “Must Love Cats" show!

http://thecatnetwork.org/2017/08/must-love-cats-silent-auction-and-fundraiser/

It will be held November 11, 2017 from 6:00 to 10:00pm, at the Robert and Judi Prokop Newman Alumni Center, at the University of Miami, 6200 San Amaro Drive, Coral Gables, Florida 33146. Will be an evening of wine, hor d’oeuvres, cuisine, music and a silent auction/raffle.
The event’s silent auction will feature art, travel, and various other items, including unique cat collectibles. So if you are in the area, you can jump there! :)

I am hoping for some exposure with on-site publicity, as they expect around 300 guests so my print can be seen not only by visitors of the event but city's most prominent community leaders and animal advocates.

It is the very first time I try this, so please wish me luck, that my painting will raise some money for a good kitty cause!

Meanwhile if you would like to share this for me, you could do it from here:
