Quint’s been hard at work this week creating new paintings for his art shop. And not a moment too soon! With a sell-out of his summer stock last weekend and a fun interview released just today on the Responsible Pet Ownership Blog, he’s been one busy boy! We hope you like his interview.
Here’s something else he’s been doing:
Every so often, often very late at night, we hear one of the kitties tugging at the window blinds so they can look out the window. Their view, at that time of night, is of the tops of dark fir trees and of the heavens and stars. We always figured it was Tessa weaseling her way onto the window sill, but nope. It was Quint.
An idea was born.
Our local craft store carries little 4×4 inch black canvases and small, simple easels for each canvas to sit on. Mom thought those would be great for…. something. She didn’t know what. Quint watching the stars became that something.
So Mom got out her big illustrated art book and mixed up starry paint and let Quint do his thing.

Hmm, his canvases are missing something – 2013 © Colehaus Cats
After a few more minutes dabbing paint, he notices something isn’t quite the same as Mr. Van Gogh’s painting.
Wait a minute! There it is – 2013 © Colehaus Cats
And then, he gets it! He needs a moon!
…and it goes right there! – 2013 © Colehaus Cats
That’s what’s missing. A paw wash and dry, a few more dabs of paint and the result…

You can find this masters-inspired, limited edition canvas run, which comes with an unpublished photo of Quint at work and a postcard at his art shop. Acrylic watercolor versions of the same painting on heavy art paper, without photo nor in limited edition, are available too along with his pre-fall ‘Touch of Autumn’ paintings. Don’t forget to check out Quint’s interview and then, go have a look at his new creations!
OMC! Mom was so lucky that she got on to check our squee-mail (she’s been on vacation with her brother and sister in-law most of the week.) She ran right out to Quint’s store (which convieniently is open at 5:10 am PST) and got right to the door as it opened!
Can’t wait!

We love Quint’s version of Starry Night better than the original! This time the mom HAS to get us one of Quint’s paintings.
Me LOVE your version better , Quint !
Guess what ?!
I got my paws on mom´s creditcard and ordered one of your paintings 🙂
OMC OMC OMC! We saw this and even though we just got another canvas recently, we demanded that the head peep buy this for us. Quint, you are amazing! We are very excited about this!
Pee Ess The head peep is pretty excited, too. Have you ever seen a human who knows they can’t tell the humans around them about what they’re so excited about because the office humans will think she has gone ’round the bend? It’s like that.
Wow, those are super cool! Nice job, Quint!
Quint, we’re beyond impressed. You need your own art gallery…maybe even a touring exhibit. Really.
We like these very much. Mom is taking our two paintings from Quint’s summer serious to get frames today. Heading over to the art shop to check out these new additions. Our mom loves the work of Van Gogh. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Hoo Cat we just got one but now we will have a nice Quint Gallery! Meow
Got it! Starry Night that is. I love the work of Van Gogh. I saw an exhibit in Los Angeles some time back. It was pawsome. YAY! I’m happy.
Oh yes! I was just thinkin’ that when you said Quint was tryin’ to look out the window, he was lookin’ for inspiration from the stars. EXCELLENT!
Purrs,
Nissy
lovely work Quint,xx Speedy and Rachel
Hooray! I had to rush over to Quint’s shop for his lovely art. I’m hoping his Starry Night helps keep me calm at work and the fall colors match our living room perfectly (purrfectly?). Thank you to Quint and his Mom and Dad : )
Very impressive! Quint, you’re a genius.
I really love the new series! And yes, I too think Quint’s starry night is better than the original!
I also thought your interview was fantastic and can’t believe no one has commented on that! I hope they read it.

Quint, sua pintura ficou linda!
Agora vamos conferir a sua entrevista.
Quint, YOUR Starry Night is WAY better than the original. Well, WE certainly think so, anyway! No joking!
We loved, loved, loved your interview!
I’m so glad there was one left for us! We can’t wait to see it! Quint you are truly inspired–and van Gogh speaks to me too, I understand!
Quint, your take on Van Gogh is already a classic!
How exciting and such beautiful night sky pictures.
Such wonderful art and such a wonderful interview Quint! I had my Dad order our first Quint!
I think Van Gogh would have cut off his other ear if he had seen Quint’s art!!
We are hoping to get lucky and get a painting soon.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

Oh my, I can already imagine the Human’s wallet opening up and green papers and moffs flying right out of it. She thinks she is not going to be able to resist one of your starry night type paintings, Quint.
Beautiful art work x

Quint…mom and I just feel fainty when we see your masterpieces!

Your Starry Night Masterpiece arrived today. It is even better in person. Thanks for the photos and comp easel. I had already bought a special easel but will save yours for the next piece. Thanks too for the pictures. I will frame them too. I am going to need a larger viewing table, maybe a bigger house (hee hee).
Thank you for letting us know you received it! We’re glad you like it. Kisses from Quint!
That’s incredible!!! Quint is one of the masters!
I just received my Starry Night painting today too and it is just lovely. Thank you for sharing your creative process for these beautiful paintings. You’re one special cat Quint – thank you!
Quint, I like yours much better!
