O CANADA! That's how I felt when I was painting this handsome feline. Is he a hunk of burning cat love or what? I've always been a sucker for a man in uniform (I mean, who isn't?) but I have a special appreciation for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police when they're in full dress uniform. All that pressed red serge ... and brass ... and, sigh ... (excuse me while I have a cold shower).
I love this painting a lot (it's my favourite so far) and hope to do a few more animals wearing the world famous Mountie uniform. Maybe a moose? Or a bear? Can't wait to get started.
Meanwhile, a good friend of mine (Mr. Harry Sanderford) suggested I call this dashing dude "Cuddly Do-Right." I think the name fits ... what do you think?
By the way, I sincerely hope everyone had a terrific holiday. Mine was ... different! But OK! Glad to get back to normal – whatever the feck normal is. (Let me know if you have a clue.)

Cuddly Do Right seems to work!
ReplyDeleteThanks William!
DeleteVery cute! Do a husky! I bought one in Vancouver. I think I have a Bear Mountie too. Did you like that show 'Due South' with Paul Gross and Leslie Neilsen?
ReplyDeleteWhy was your holiday 'interesting'?
One handsome dude! All credit to his make-up artist, of course.
ReplyDeleteThe only normal people are those you don't know very well.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Cuddly Do Right seems fair. I would love to see a feline villian as well...
Yep. Love a cat in a uniform.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
How about a horse in uniform riding a trained mountie lol?
ReplyDeleteWhat is normal? Whatever feels comfortable to you at any given moment. If you are uncomfortable it's not a normal situation for you. That's my interpretation for what it's worth lol.
Cuddly Do Right - hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Cathy.
Cat people (including my wife and I) love cat art.
