Today’s model is bae bae and the prompt was climb. She climbed up on a chair for this reference photo and my creativity was lacking today 😅 #cattober2026 #cattober #kattober2026

I tried to give Oscar a golden hour glow up for some sense of magical wonder or whimsy. Did it work? Tomorrow’s prompt is climb and I am still accepting submissions. #cattober2026 #cattober #kattober2026

Cattober starts TOMORROW! 🤯 send me your cat pics!! I will be doing oil paintings for the first 24 days and charcoal for the last 7. As always picking a prompt is optional but can increase your odds of being picked. #cattober #cattober2026 #kattober2026

The prompt was purple but I think the background paint was more magenta or pink 😅 and talk about being used to PAINTING a portrait a day. I didn’t catch that mistake until it was too late. #peopledays2026 #peopledays #portraitaday
