Nap Worth Painting: Meet Sebastion

Meet Sebastian, a sweet 14 year-old Siamese cat . I recently had the joy of painting his commissioned pet portrait in watercolor, and I completely fell in love with this endearing, peaceful moment his family captured of him fast asleep on this bright pink blanket. (Honestly, it gave me the perfect excuse to break out my favorite Daniel Smith Opera Pink paint!)

It’s these quiet, cozy glimpses that make a keepsake painting so special—a way to treasure the “shhh, don’t wake them” moments we share with our loyal companions.

Every painting has a story—especially a 14-year-old Siamese on a pink blanket.

New In Huntsville Art Studio: The Life of a Cat Series

From the playful pounce to the quiet nap, my latest watercolor series explores the curiosity and silliness that makes cats such a gift. These three pet portrait poses (only two shown here), set against soft blue washes, were inspired by the daily antics of my own studio buddies—especially Ki-Lani, who loves to “help” by walking directly across my palette.

I invite you to explore these captured moments and find a gentle reminder of the cuddly personalities we share our homes with.

Meet the real-life muses behind the brushstrokes of Amy Boardman’s pet portraits.

Find the Beauty in Today

Life moves fast here in Huntsville. Between the rush of daily life and the quiet transitions of being an empty-nester, I have realized just how quickly time flies and how every fleeting moment is a precious gift from our Creator.

My art is my way of hitting “pause.” Whether it is a boat anchored peacefully on a glass-like lake, a sandpiper’s frantic dance on the beach, or my little “ninja cat” Ki-Lani claiming my keyboard as her own, I paint to capture the heart of the moment. I work in expressive realism, letting my watercolors find those “happy accidents” that make life so vibrant.
