HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Last week in addition to the Bloggers Painted Cat Mew Year
show I decided to do something different: I created and hosted a CONTEST entitled 'COLORFUL CREATIVE CATS'
1st PRIZE WINNER: Jutta Maria Pusl
CAT MOMMY by Jutta Maria Pusl |
Jutta Maria Pusl, born and living in Germany, enjoys painting, drawing and taking photos from childhood on. She studied educational sciences in Munich with a main focus on arts and worked as a teacher also teaching art. With the computer era she discovered the digital image editing and began to experiment with photos and fractals. Soon also 3D graphics have fascinated her. The computer has become an important medium to express herself artistically. She also paints in acrylic, oil and watercolor and takes part in an exhibition once a year. She as kind enough to answer a few questions for me!
Q-We notice that your beautiful artwork “Cat Mommy” was created as an original art piece in acryllc and pen. What inspired you to create this piece and tell us about what it was like to create it? The inspiration for 'Cat Mommy' was a little sculpture. I'm always looking for ideas for images with cats. I love cats and they are my favorite subject for paintings.
NIGHTLY MEETING by Jutta Maria Pusl |
Q- We love the diversity of your art
collection. On what area and subject are you currently focusing? Currently I'm working on an acrylic painting with the subject autumn.
Q- You have many outstanding animal portraits. What interests you about painting and/or photographing animals? I think it is because I love animals and I like to watch them.
2ND PRIZE WINNER: Dee Davis
Quinkles The Great - By Dee Davis |
Dee, who lives in Minnesota began drawing pictures at age three when hery dad, an art teacher, put a pencil in her hand, gave her some paper and a few basic lessons in drawing. Since then she's been fascinated with the artistic side of life, studying, viewing and participating.She has worked in colored pencil, acrylic, watercolor and oil doing landscapes, portraits, abstracts and whimsy. She donate 20% of her profits of Imaginary Cat sales at FAA to the Humane Society and the ASPCA.
Q-We noticed this artwork and many others are done with the medium of colored pencil. We
love that. What do you like about using colored pencil? do you use any other mediums? Colored pencils are so clean and easy..I often start a picture, not knowing exactly how I will finish it..then it can become a puzzle for a while as I decide on the final colors, and background items. a mouse? a bird? a terradactyl?
Q-What do you like about drawing cats? My home is full of cat memorabilia...pictures, cards, little figurines. I have had several cats in the past...and I pampered and adored them, however I am catless at the moment and I do miss having one or two.
Q-Any other comments? Best wishes to all cat lovers on FAA and Facebook and throughout the world !
3rd Prize Winner: Kathy Kelly
Kathy is a photographer turned digital artist from the U.S. She has a wonderful portfolio of animals, nature and other topics. We may do a fuller feature at a later date. Her portrait "Whiskered One' is a beautifully detailed picture of a close cropped cat portrait.

In case you're wondering more about FINEARTAMERICA, I will give you my link as well. I have had a blast turning my seascape, landscape and yes, CAT photos into paintings and this is a wonderful place to display (and sometimes sell them! Each art piece can be a drawing or poster but also a coffee mug, face mask, blanket and much more. It is a fun place to be selling artwork.
