Hey, you. Yes, you! Haven’t you heard? It’s time for a cat break! These fabulous felines might not break the internet, but they are certainly capable of warming your heart. One can never love too many cats, especially in art. Whatever you’re doing next can wait. Soothe your soul with these furry companions today.

This little tabby is so precious on its pillow, its cuteness must be protected by a strong wood frame! Even the art is undeniably cute sized. It’s the purrfect acrylic miniature piece to get “awws” from admirers at an office desk, a personal study, or even a child’s bedroom.

What do cats ponder in their minds? Are they thinking about snuggle time with their humans, taking over the world, or just taking a nap? Who knows. But there’s one thing we know for sure. This feline is contemplating a cardinal and a candle on a rainy day, and it’s looking mighty adorable in this acrylic painting.

There’s nothing better than gazing at an adorable kitten to melt a bad day away. Well, there may be one thing we managed to think of. Gazing at three adorable kittens! This acrylic painting is based on a real life trio of babies who the artist rescued when they were just a few days old. All of them lived to be happy and healthy!

With fuzzy ears and a peaceful disposition, it’s hard to believe that this little guy will become a ferocious bobcat. But today isn’t that day, so admire him while you can! Better yet, you can enjoy his cute furry self long after he grows up because this is, in fact, actually a gorgeous watercolor painting.

This mischievous group of lion cubs are so endearing, you’ll want to reach out and pet their soft fur. (Disclaimer: it’s not a good idea to pet real wild lions. That’s what the art is for!) We love how the gold frame ushers a warm sunny feeling in this oil on ivorine miniature. What can these young fellas possibly get into? It’s up to the viewer’s imagination.
We hope you enjoyed this cute cat break, brought to you by Seaside Art Gallery’s Animals in Art Show. You’ll feel even better when you purchase artwork that features an animal right now during the month of February. A portion of each purchase helps pets and their humans in need through the local Outer Banks Coastal Humane Society. Now that’s something to smile about!
Whether it’s the merry month of May, an early holiday gift, or just because, it’s always a wonderful time to show your mom, grandma or mother figure how much you love them with art!
Maybe you’ve seen a miniature painting before, but have you witnessed a tiny sculpture or mini with three-dimensional details so small, you would find them with a magnifying glass?
The awards for the 35th International Miniature Art Show have been announced. This year’s winners celebrate the incredible talent, creativity, and detail that make miniature art one of the most captivating forms of original art.
