My Colorful Cat Portraits That Highlight Their Irresistible Charm

My name is Joy of JoyousJoyfulJoyness, and I am a California-based artist known for my vibrant animal art. I've created a series of 12 close-up cat paintings that are playful and captivating. Each piece showcases cats in unique, exaggerated perspectives and funny expressions, capturing the quirks and charm of feline personalities.

I bring these cats to life using bold colors and intricate details, highlighting their mischievous, curious, and occasionally grumpy sides. From wide-eyed surprise to minute bleeps, the series is a humorous celebration of the everyday antics that make cats so lovable.

My signature vibrant palette gives the kitties a pop of color. Whether you’re a cat lover or simply a fan of vibrant, lighthearted art, these paintings will surely bring a smile to your face.

#1 "Chonk"

I'm a mother of two wonderful boys and a former lawyer who realized my dream of becoming a professional artist... in my early 40s! I'm completely self-taught, and my mother is an artist, so I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil. 

#2 "Cat-Atonic"

#3 "Disappoint"

I have always wanted to be a professional artist. My mother is one, and she's encouraged me to create since I was a toddler. Finally, I was able to in my early 40s!

#4 "Green Eyes"

#5 "Meow"

I started my professional art career drawing and foiling pet portraits, but only recently taught myself painting in color. I painted what I knew and was inspired by crazy cat references. My love of art took off from there.

I hope these cat paintings make you smile! My goal as an artist is to spark happiness.
