March 26 - Canadian Cat
"Yes, I'm Warm, Thank You" I was offered this delightful image of a Canadian cat, cozy in mohair, and asked permission to paint him/her. I'd not seen such a nice image of a cat all fluffed up in something so cozy, and just felt I had to paint it. The source material for this was also so good, I changed hardly anything--perhaps the expression a bit, making the cat a teenager. When I have to do details like this, I prefer my acrylics, as the layering of colors allows for infinite details and corrections. This is a 5 x 7 acrylic on gallery wrap; it sold the minute I sent it out to my daily paintings email list. The Daily Paintings Email List.
