Lauan

painted pet portrait — Gwenn Seemel
*Lauan*
2011
acrylic on panel
8 x 8 inches

Lauan was one of the first cats I painted, but I’ve painted many more since—both wild and tame. I even made one a main character in a series of illustrations for my book You Share Good, and she gets into all kinds of trouble, chewing on a camera and facing off with a parrot among other things.
