Announcing my “Cats in Windows” bundle print sale! Two prints at 25% off, for a limited time. The titles in this bundle are “3 AM” + “The Yearning for Adventure”. #CatArt #bsnm #Cats #HolidayGifts #ArtSale #GiftsForCatLovers #CatsInWindows #CatsAtNight
www.etsy.com/shop/TheArtOfRobHusberg
It’s 3 AM in suburbia and someone is still awake. A silhouetted cat sits on a windowsill behind open blinds peering out at a mysterious nighttime world. This is her favourite post in the house. From here she can look out over the expansive lawn and clipped hedges. Her humans have long since gone to bed. There is streetlight shining on the house, hedges and lawn. She’s hoping to see something – anything – move about in the shadows. She listens intently for any rustle in the leaves, snap of a twig, or scampering over the grass. For now, all is silent except for the faint rush of a passing car. The night belongs to her. I’ve drawn this in ballpoint pen in a very fine, wispy cross-hatching style trying to achieve that vague, mysterious tonality seen at that hour. I take a lot of walks at night, and this is a home I’ve passed several times, complete with the lit window. I always imagine a cat sitting there, and the beauty is that I can make it so. This is a companion piece of sorts with “The Yearning for Adventure”, also available in my Etsy shop. Hark! What was that?! Our feline friend has heard mysterious noises emanating from out in the garden. Where the sounds an “it” or a “them”? She thinks she sees shadowy shapes dart across the lawn and slither through the shrubbery. The poor cat is trapped indoors. All she wants is to leap through that window into a moonlit landscape of wild curiosity filled with unknown and unseen excitements – and perhaps an exploit or two of good old mischief.

“Allée of the Ancients”

When was the last time you thought about your ancestors?

Available as a giclée art print in my Etsy shop.

Find it here:
theartofrobhusberg.etsy.com/listing/7794...
“Allée of the Ancients” *giclée art print This is a fanciful scene of a small cat looking up at tall, weathered, vine-covered statues of his ancient ancestors in a winding, dark alley of overgrown trees and hedges. It is an atmospheric, mysterious, yet whimsical scene. The idea for this piece came when, on one of my walks, I spied a cat sitting in a garden, looking up an old wooden pedestal at a large, weather-worn ceramic cat perched on top. I had just received my DNA results from Ancestry.com a couple days prior. The two things instantly blended together in my mind. This piece was rendered with dip pen and ink and Paynes Grey watercolour.

“The Night Patrol”

A solitary cat makes her way along a narrow, winding path…

Available as a giclée art print in my Etsy shop!

theartofrobhusberg.etsy.com/listing/7947...
“The Night Patrol” *giclée art print Deep inside a deserted old English park very late at night, a solitary cat makes her way along a narrow, winding path. The walkway meanders through dark shadows, past bright lamplight, overgrown, untrimmed hedges and lofty drooping trees. She is on patrol of her realm. She’s looking for anything suspicious, unfamiliar or out of place. Every shadow, movement and sound holds a new mystery. She sees and hears things we never could.

I’m having a “Cats and Crescent Moons” bundle print sale! Two square prints at 25% off, for a limited time. The titles in this bundle are “Mise en Scène pour la Nuit” + “Within a Galaxy of Leaves”. #CatArt #bsnm #Cats #HolidayGifts #GiftForReaders #ArtSale

www.etsy.com/shop/TheArtOfRobHusberg
A mysterious night scene with a black cat, crescent moon, and glowing lamppost. The title is "Mise en Scène pour la Nuit". The stage has been set for the night's events. The characters involved have assembled. (Yes, I consider the crescent moon, park bench, trimmed hedge, and the lamppost all as players in my 'production'.) What might transpire tonight in this hidden, lonely corner of the old park? Are they waiting for another, as-yet-unseen participant to join them? In a clearing, a noble white cat sits mesmerized by the open volume at her feet. Is it a favorite book revisited, or something new? She reads by the generous light of the crescent moon, which has kindly lowered itself from the night sky to provide illumination. The scene is framed by swaying grasses in the foreground and a mysterious white column. Behind her is a curtain of flowing, swirling leaves, forming constellations of churning galaxies à la van Gogh. Below the leaves, in the background, a shadowy figure lurks. Is all this actually happening, or is it the dreamlike imagining of the cat as she reads her book?

theartofrobhusberg.etsy.com/listing/7728...
“A Wary Friendship” *available as an original ballpoint pen ink drawing and as a giclée art print It is nighttime and deep within the grounds of an old mansion. Under the lamplight, in the foreground, sits a cat, seated atop her favourite bench. From there she can survey her realm and listen to the sounds of the night. For several days a small bird has taken an interest in the cat, sneaking unseen a little closer to her each night. The bird had trouble sleeping and was lonesome. One night the bird finally stirs the courage to show himself and the cat is surprised, to say the least. Impressed by the bird’s temerity, and against all instinct, the cat feels an instant fondness for him. Is this the beginning of a beautiful friendship?

theartofrobhusberg.etsy.com/listing/8581...
“The Menacing Topiaries” giclée art print Here we have our curious, and somewhat trepidatious cat friend from "The Forgotten Gardens" and "The Watchful Hedges" continuing her journey through the increasingly dark andunnerving twists and turns of this meandering derelict garden. Under the light of an immense crescent moon and turbulent skies she now exits the garden, passing through towering ornate iron gates. Her adventure is now over…or is it? She has somehow felt ‘watched' all along, but this time it's even more apparent that she is indeed being observed…this time by a pair of imposing sinister black cat topiaries whose wide, bright white eyes follow her all too closely.

#bsnm #BlueskyNightMarket #cats #catsandart #Halloweenart
Here we have a curious, and somewhat trepidatious cat in a dark and unnerving, derelict garden. She has somehow felt 'watched'. As she walks between two huge topiaries, she is indeed being observed! A black and white drawing. Here we have four mysterious, furtive and highly suspicious-looking black cats with glowing eyes, sitting together on a park bench, late at night, under the light from a lamppost. Are they plotting something nefarious - or just mischievous? Or, has the deed already been done? Or do they just look guilty? This is an exercise in atmospheric light and shadow and strong contrasts. A black & white drawing. 'Fang', the snaggletoothed tuxedo cat, is at home with a couple of loyal, yet untrustworthy friends (or fiends?): a crow and a rat. The full moon shines through the gothic window. This particular full moon, however, is a giant grinning pumpkin! It's all quite eerie, yet in a sinisterly gleeful way, suitable for year-round viewing. Drawn in black India ink with predominantly blue and orange watercolor washes.

I’ve had 11 kitties over the years, beginning with “Boots” when I was a kid (tuxedo markings as you would imagine with that name) and ending with “Luna” (pictured here) 3 years ago. Since then I haven’t had the heart to get a new/used one, but my resistance is wearing thin. I think it might be soon
