Hi everybuddy. I want to show you an early Christmas present we got. The lady with the yellow hair ordered one of Quint Cole’s (from the Colehaus Cats) final paintings. Yeah, Quint is a cat and he likes to paint.
Now for those of you who might not know about Quint, his humans learned that he actually liked to “paint” by smearing wet litter on walls and toothpaste on mirrors with his paws. They set up a studio and encouraged him to paint on heavy paper with kitty-safe paints. Over the past 5 years, Quint has sold or donated over 400 of his paintings. The proceeds of the sales were donated to help stray and feral cats. You can read more of Quint’s story HERE.
Sadly, the Colehaus family has recently fallen on some hard times, and Quint will be unable to paint anymore. We’re purring for them and hope things will get better so Quint can get back into the studio.
The lady with the yellow hair has wanted a Quint painting for some time, and when she learned that this group of paintings was going to be Quint’s last offering, she made sure she got one and has already framed it. This one is called “Soft Lights.” Quint’s inspiration for it was the lights on the Christmas tree. We can almost see the colors twinkling like real Christmas tree lights. It’s beautiful and we love it!

Quint does such beautiful paintings.
That is a beautiful painting your Mom got – showcases Quint’s considerable talent beautifully in pastels. Sad to hear they have fallen in hard times so Quint won’t be continuing with his artwork. We will pray for better times to come.
Hugs, Teddy and Mom

Those are such terrific paintings. We so hope the family sees some better times really soon. Merry Christmas to all at the Island Cats.

Oh, how wonderful that you have an original Quint!
We were lucky to use his artwork for this year’s holiday cards!
That is great that you got a “Quint” We have several and Dad is going to put them up after the holidays. We are sad to hear that they are having difficulty
Your artwork from Quint has a bright, spring-time color theme. Hopefully Quint’s family overcomes their difficulties soon.

That is very interesting. I heard of colehouse cats but I didn’t realize there was a painter in the family. I guess I must not follow them. I’m sure it was an oversight.

Sweetest Island Cats, thank you so much for showing off your Soft Lights painting by Quint! We hardly ever get to see one of his works out in the wild and your post today was a real treat!

We’ve always admired Quint’s work–he is quite talented!
I’m purring lots for the Colehaus family too – we also have a Quint original!
That is a great painting. I have some Quints and love them. I am praying things improve for his family too. XO
We love your painting and had our eyes on another one but right now we don’t have the funds to pay for the painting and the postage which is almost as much. Maybe some will last until after the holidays.
I agree 100% that Quint’s work is so lovely. I hope we can convince him family to help him create more paintings if things settle down.
You picture looks lovely framed.
That is beautiful! Quint is quite talented. We hope he can get back to work someday. ♥
