See my original painting that interprets how van Gogh might have painted his own cat!


If Vincent van Gogh had had a cat, how do you think he would have painted it?  I borrowed from van Gogh's techniques and created an original scene featuring a cat.  Using van Gogh's famous style, I painted my interpretation of how he would have portrayed his own cat :-)

This art is copyrighted and may not be reproduced anywhere by any means without my permission.





One day Vincent van Gogh took a break from painting a still life of sunflowers and left the
arrangement sitting on a table.  While he was gone, his cat hopped up on the forbidden table
and started chewing on the flowers.  The next portrait of the cat showed it missing one of its ears.

Hello Eve!! Thank you so much for your print it arrived on time and I loved it the moment I took it out of the tube.  The colors are wonderful and I am now looking for the perfect frame to hang it up in.  Hope to purchase more prints.  Kayla

I got the Van Gogh's Cat print today and I have to tell you that the customer service was exceptional and that the shipping was unbelievably fast! Thank you so very much for providing such wonderful art! Always, Mel

This print is for my friend who lives in Van Gogh's home town (Nuenen, The Netherlands) AND has a ginger tiger cat. Now how PERFECT is that!? ROFLLL I can't WAIT to see her face when she opens it.

P.S.  She came for my 50th birthday and we had a WONDERFUL visit. I wish you could've seen her face when she opened up Van Gogh's Naughty Cat! It was just priceless. One of those "This is so great, I don't know whether to laugh or cry" looks.  What made it even more special is that, sometime after I bought the print from you, her ginger cat, Avis, was diagnosed with cancer. Marianne had to have her put to sleep about a week before her trip, because she was in a lot of pain and had stopped eating. Your print will be in a place of honor in Marianne's home.  Thanks again, Chrissy

"!Hello Eve!  I found your site searching for "cat prints".  Everyone in our family loves cats and it was for a Christmas present. It is difficult to find quality prints without spending a fortune. It was a Yahoo search engine that brought your site up. When I saw that picture, I loved it. My maiden name was Vango, and historically, we believe it was shortened from VanGogh, so we actually have a bit of interest in him, and we all have the Sunflowers painting in our homes. Thank you very much for your e-mail, letting me know the print has been shipped."  Carol at Beltone, Upstate Hearing Aids

 

"Hi Eve, The Van Gogh print arrived this afternoon in beautiful condition.  We have two orange tabbies who are famous for eating our plants, so this print was perfect for our home.  Thank you for your excellent service!"  Sincerely,
Katherine Gray

"Well, it took me long enough but I finally got a chance to spend an evening at your site!  I thoroughly enjoyed all your pages... the pictures and art work are just wonderful!  Your own cats are just gorgeous and full of personality.  You've put so much work into this site and it shows... terrific job!  We'd LOVE to give you Punkin's Award for your site and add you to our favorite links too.  I think I'll have to order a copy of Van Gogh's cat as well!  Reminds me so much of my Daisy!  Looks like her, and that's exactly what she does with flowers, too.  Thanks for an enjoyable time here! Sherry at Punkin NET"

"Hello Eve.....The print arrived several days ago, and I just love it!  I can't wait to get it framed and hung.  I was amazed at how fast it got here; and, I must say, it's even nicer than I thought it would be. Thank  you so much.  Ellie at Cats and Pink Cadillacs"

"Eve, Just a quick note to let you know I did receive the cat print that I ordered from you.  It got here very quickly.  It's wonderful.  I  had recently decided to redecorate the bedroom in blue and yellow.  I used to have a very mischievous, and much loved, orange tabby cat.  So this picture is going to go perfectly!! Thanks, Susan"

A picture of van Gogh's Bad Cat has been published in the November 2001 issue of the magazine, Muse, from the publishers of Cricket and Smithsonian Magazine, in an article on Vincent van Gogh and How to Spot a Faux van Gogh.

Dear Eve, The print arrived today, and it is just perfect. I got it as a gift for a co-worker, and she loves it.  All my colleagues agree that you are very talented.  Thank you for offering a great product.  A.V.

Eve,  Just got my print and I love it!! Thanks so much.  JoAnn Cook


Van Gogh was in the middle of one of his sunflower paintings, when his subject matter was destroyed.  Amazingly, he was able to finish the picture from memory, and you will probably be able to recognize the painting even at its unfinished stage.

The cat art parody prints for van Gogh's Bad Cat were originally painted in acrylics on canvas to be able to capture the brushstrokes typical of this artist.  The yellow ochre and blue frequently used by van Gogh are called complementary colors, because they are opposite each other on the color wheel.  Complementary colors enhance each other, and mixtures of the two result in many wonderful intermediary colors.  This is one of the color schemes van Gogh used for his sunflowers.

Sunflowers are a very cheerful subject, even when they've been chewed on.  They are the colors of a warm summer day and bring the sunlight into a room the whole year round.  An orange tabby just doing what some cats do brightens the picture even more with its own brand of joy.

Would you like to add some amusing sunlight to your home or office?  Just click on the Cart below to choose a print or canvas.

van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh painted alla prima; that is, he worked rapidly and intensely, not stopping or making changes until he accomplished what he had in mind.  He varied his use of different types of brushstrokes--dashes, dots, dabs, hatchmarks, swirling lines, and distinct outlines, without blending the colors, resulting in a very energetic painting.
