by Drew Strouble  Here's a watercolor that I painted from life of our Tortie Point Himalayan cat name Tiramisu. The title of the painting is "Sleeping Beesh". Beesh was a nickname that my wife, Kim, gave to Tiramisu.Notice the completely different style and look from my highly detailed paintings done from photographic references. To achieve this look, I start by wetting the entire blank sheet of watercolor paper. I do no advance pencil drawing, but instead start right in on blank paper with a loaded brush of color to capture a quick impression using the "wet on wet" watercolor technique. As the paper begins to dry, I go back into the image to add a bit more drawing and detail. The entire painting, which measures 10 x 14 inches, took about 10 minutes to paint (plus the other 35 years of experience :-) "If you think you own your cat, boy, are you fooled!"

 Hi Drew, I received your Calendar and Journal today with the personal note. Thank you so much! Lukas, who helped me open the parcel, also says “thanks” for the Styrofoam peanuts. Ollie, who has only three legs, is less prone to chasing things, but says thanks as well. And I will most certainly enjoy the Calendar and Journal. All the best, Margaret
Hi Drew, Just a quick note to let you know I just received my 4th! proof of your wonderful drawings. I think that you are so gifted and I can respect how much you love those beautiful creatures just has I have my whole life. This last drawing I just received is a likeness of my cat I lost years ago. He was such a handsome boy. I miss him to this day. Great work!! I'll be in touch. PS Thank you for the shipping discount! Take Care, Chef Christine
Hi Drew, Coincidentally, we have a male seal point Siamese named Rocky! These will make a total of 6 of your Siamese prints we have. I was excited to find color ink prints in a shop in Siesta Key while on vacation in Sarasota in June this year. We first heard of you on our vacations over the years there. We have 3 seal point Siamese: Rocky and siblings Toby and Macy. "Meezers" has a particular place of honor on our mantel over the fireplace and is my favorite. Love your Meezers! Thanks, Drew. -Renee
Hello, Mr. Catmandrew! I'm reaching out to you because a while ago (5 years or so) my dad purchased a proof #5/50 of "Oasis" from you. It's by far my favorite piece of art I own... but anyways... I lost my dad 3 years ago to cancer and I know if he was alive today he'd probably one of everything you have created. But I'd like a new print of a tabby like my cat Monte Carlo, and am currently browsing your website to find the perfect one. You're the best at your craft, and I just wanted to say thank you for making me smile everytime I look at "Oasis". You're amazing. And thank you sharing your gift with the world. |
