CAT ILLUSTRATIONS
Nicole was very kindly asked to put forward 3 illustrations for the Busrmese Cat Club Winter Magazine 2013. They were well received and went along with Catascopes on the Burmese breed, depicting some of their unique personalities and quirky behaviours. Fun to do and interesting topic.

MOONSPUN WEBSITE
Carly Marno who is a Persian breeder in Oxford asked me to help her create a magical website to represent her and her chosen breed of beautiful felines.
It was a little more of a challenge than the usual websites as Carly is registered blind and I had to work with conjuring feelings of moonlight that Carly could describe to me from dreams and reading books, as she herself, has never seen it. She is a remarkable woman who was a real pleasure to work with.

PERFECT PEACE PAINTING
Perfect Peace was commissioned by Anne Minshall for her two Daughters. They had recently lost their beloved King Charles Cavalier, Beth & their Marmoset Monkey, Gizmo. It is unusual for Nicole to paint dogs and she certainly has never painted a Marmoset before but this was a very special commission that was amazing to produce for the family and will form three unique paintings.

RAINING CATS AND FROGS ILLUSTRATION
Nomi Hallam who owns and shows Pursian cats asked Nicole to Illustrate all of her cats and make them into fun cards, tote bags and pictures for her children (and her really). Nomi has excellent ideas and always charms Nicole with her ideas on what she is imagining and Nicole turns her ideas into reality. It all started with a mock up of her cat Bob, who is a funny lovable fellow and the whole idea went from there. In this illustration, Nomi asked for little blue hat, a froggie and a rain puddle... just had to add the wellies too!

RUDI RAINBOW PAINTING
When Emma Martin asked Nicole to paint Rudi, she asked that he could be painted in blossoms a little like the painting 'In the pink'. But everytime Nicole went to paint him in a pink setting, he put his paw down and made her pain different colours all together. Ironically, a rainbow, which later Nicole learned was his pedigree name!
Rudi came to her whilst she slept one afternoon when Nicole felt poorly and he showed her quartz crystal and Cyclamen flowers in purple. It was then that Nicole started to paint him. One thing that was really apparent was no matter how many times she tried to paint him facing 'eyes forward', he forever lowered his face. It was a truly gifted spiritual painting. Rudi has heart disease and is a very special boy who really knows what he wants!

Nomi Hallam had a few illustrations created for her children and to put onto cards and gifts for friends. Wallace here, is in catnip chatting to a ladybird. These illustrations are originally Nomi's photographs with a few added extras to make them even cuter. Nomi has excellent ideas and loves to have her cats depicted on cards, bags and pictures for keepsakes.

ANGEL FLUFFS PAINTINGCommissioned by Candice Higgins for her three beautiful Persians who have now, very sadly passed into Rainbow Bridge. Each one of these special babies visited Nicole and decided just how they wished to be painted and where they wished to be placed. Each time Nicole tried to paint them as their photographs had depicted them, they altered their positions. You may spot the beautiful angel wings each with a star at the tip to denote their star in the heavens and the Blue Morpho butterfly which is their Spirit Guide. Candice is Welsh and wished to have Daffodils in the painting.
UTHER & LULU IN THE PINK PAINTING
Delightful little pair of Devon Rex Cats owned by Heather Anderson -Carter. Faith was shown along side Uther when they were kittens, on her first outing he was in the pen next door to her. Heather wanted them depicted in a blossom setting in Spring and it was important that the blossoms were falling and Uther watching them. Heather has been so very poorly with cancer and we all hope that this little painting helps her feel full of Spring time when she is feeling low.

RASCALIREX WEBSITE
Rascalirex and Brontay Doog Grooming is owned and run my Nichola Brown from Stourbridge. Nichola wanted a different website to promote her cattery and her dog grooming business. The website had to be full of sparkles and playful things. Nicole took the paw from her Brontay logo and used it to back all of the cats in the cattery and all of the kitten fairies sparkle!
www.rascalirexcats.co.uk - Rascalirex Is no longer available as Nichola gave up breeding in 2014

Gizmo was commissioned by Anne Minshall's Daughter Nichola as she wanted her beautiful little Marmoset Monkey to have his very own forest setting, the way he should have lived they said.
Estoy en casa translates as 'I am home'.

SISCO PAINTING
Sicco belongs to Brett & Liza Nixon and she is getting quite an elderly lady now so they wished to have her painted whilst she still looked young. Her eyes are really amazing and she is the epitome of a feral cat with petit eard and compact body. She is old enough now to accept her family and the new life that was created for her. In the on sale painting 'Watching Crickets' there are 12 crickets crawling around the grass!

SAMPAGITA PAINTING
Sampagita is a delightful little Singapura cat, her family Mel & Jane Brooks ordered a painting of this lively and impish beauty. She certainly was a character to paint!
They asked for a meadow setting with poppies and daisies. The painting is simply called Sampagita after the beautiful flower that she is and hidden in the painting is the said flower.
The Butterfly wings are those of the Jezebel Butterfly which is quite common in parts of Singapore.

JASPER ILLUSTRATION
Lisa Tidmarsh requested a commission of her Special boy Jasper. Jasper is Faith's cousin and they actually do look very similar when viewed together. Lisa had Jasper put onto little bags for her and her daughter to use as book bags.

HOP TO IT PAINTING
Sue Brown commissioned this painting of her blue Oriental boy caled Vegas. Everytime Nicole met Sue at a cat show, she would talk about the painting and how much we wanted to see Vegas chasing this froggie in his retirement. When Vegas did retire from showing, Sue finally commissioned the painting and she even purchased the the 'on sale' painting as well for prosperity.

BLOSSOM PAINTING
Blossom is a beautiful coloured mare and for many years was a top dressage horse. Alison Le Fevre wanted to see her in her element of freedom and her ears slightly turned to the wild, listening and knowing where her heart is. She is retired now and living in the lap of luxury and Alison spends her spare time grooming and caring for her.

LAZY DAYS ILLUSTRATION
This little variant kitten was requested by the Rex Cat Club for a one off Heated bed by FGR Innovations, combining Nicole's art work and the stylish beds. The partnership worked well and five heated beds were created with special artwork which was certificate and signed. The bes were expensive to purchase, but to see them made up was just lovely.
