Ceramic Murchyks the Cats

After seeing this little ceramic picture of a cat at Vernisazh Craft Market in the city of Lviv, Ukraine, I thought immediately, “That’s it! This is our Murchyk the cat!” The same fuzzy, the same cute! Even in the same colors! So, I have no doubts about getting it – the cat on the picture was sooo much like our Murchyk! Well, you can compare with the original – here is our Murchyk the cat and here is his ceramic, I would say, a portrait:

Browsing some more pictures on the same craft market, I also spotted another picture of our Murchyk – with a cute fuzzy friend :) No doubts again, I got that one, too:

 Now, both of the pictures are pleasing my eyes, hanging on a wall. So cute kitties, aren’t they?

 Overall ceramic pictures are quite an unusual art. As I am not only a cat person, but also a ceramic and pottery lover, I can fully appreciate what I got in my trip to Ukraine; I enjoy this cat art very much!

I have no idea how my husband’s brother and his wife knew it, but they made me a great gift for my birthday – another Murchyk on ceramic! Here he is, in the middle – gorgeous ginger cat with his furry friends:

The picture is really nice piece of art; my relatives got it in Toronto and they said it is made in Canada. Beautifully done, I love it!

Very Unusual Cats

Something new for you, cat lovers! Here is some very unusual cat art I have spotted lately. Cats-dragons on the mugs below! Or they are dragons-cats?

Anyway, it is very interesting, cute and sweet! These kitties-dragons are hand painted by Vita Petruk. She is a talented artist from the city of Ternopil, western Ukraine; specializing on glass painting and ceramic painting.

And here is next art for you:

Nope, this is not a cow and not a goat! (I was thinking the same way, too). This is a CAT. This is a special cat, a timeless one, as explained about the painting its author Olesya Hudyma. Olesya is from Ternopil too; she is very famous local artist. Olesya does lots of art; her favorite style is impressionism. I would say the mysterious kitty on her painting is done in that style.

Do you know some more unusual cat art? Would you like to share? If so, feel free to post pictures of it to Murchyks Facebook fan-page,with a link to you website or blog if you got one.
