Cat Oil Portraits
The essence of painting a cat portrait is the expression of the eyes.
Eyes that express love for their family, always content and always ready to play. When I start painting a cat, I talk to their owners, I like to know all about their personalities, their life among the family and what makes them happy.
Let me paint a portrait of your cat in lively and colorful oil paintings. All I require from you is a good photograph to work from. Call me at 919-841-3132 or send me an email at clinapolloni@gmail.com
Pavement Portrait
Commissioned oil painting 11”x 14” by Clina Polloni
When Ashley commissioned me to paint Pavement, she told me. “I found her in the middle of the road in Louisburg, she was no bigger than a pine cone, covered in fleas and malnourished, I took her home bathed her and cleaned her up. Then bottle feed her until she was able to eat on her own. One November she was hit by a car, just her leg was hurt. The vet wanted to amputate her leg, but I wouldn’t let them. She got around just fine with that leg. She was my baby!!! She brought so much joy into my life and I’d like to have a painting done to remember her by.” Ashley Griffin.
Mr. Parker Portrait
Commissioned oil painting 11”x 14” by Clina Polloni.
When I was commissioned to paint Mr. Parker’s Pet Portrait, I was fascinated by the beauty of the gold tones of his tabby cat hair and the expression of his eyes. Painting his eyes and the many colors of his hair was a wonderful experience.

Commissioned Oil Children Portraits
By Artist Clina Polloni
“There is nothing more beautiful than to see the children playing and laughing. I am creating a collection of children portraits in their innocent world.”
When painting a child, the most important thing is the expression of the eyes and to achieve the delicate soft skin of a child. The best technique is blending and blending.

The Lost Colony
Oil Painting by Clina Polloni. 16”x 20”.
Inspired by Eleanor Dare waiting for her father John White. Her story of hopes 1587.
This painting is FOR SALE, exhibited at local businesses in Wake Forest NC.
From the collection of “Colonial Life in North Carolina”.
Eleanor Dare of England, was a member of the Roanoke Colony and the daughter of John White, the colony’s governor. While little is known about her life, more is known about her than most of the sixteen other women who left England in 1587 as part of the Roanoke expedition. She married Ananias Dare. It is known that she gave birth to their daughter Virginia Dare on Roanoke Island, in what is now the state of North Carolina. The girl was the first child of English parents to be born in North America, on 18 August 1587, shortly after their arrival. Eleanor Dare, along with everyone else remaining in the “Lost Colony”, disappeared during the two years before her father was able to returned to the colony with supplies from England.
