Oil on 5x7 gessoed hardboard.I did a cat last week for WDE, another for my blog, and here's the third cat painting in a row. I seem stuck in this cat-agory.
I first toned the surface with alizarin crimson acrylic.
Although I didn't work a Valentine heart into the painting, my heart is in there. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

Dean,
So glad you visited my blog and thank you for the nice comment! Hope you find my tech info useful.
Your art is very special. Love the cats, chicks, birds and buildings. With the cats you really caught the mystery in their eyes.
I'm happy to follow your blog.
This is my favorite cat painting of late. Love the expression and well just everything.
Hi Brenda! Thanks for following my blog and your very supportive words on my artwork.
So glad I found your site. As mentioned before, it's a treasure trove of information.
Thanks, Barbara. I am really happy with how this one came out...doesn't happen too often.
Happy Valentine's Day one day late Deano. I really like your 3/4 view of the cat. Much more interesting than my 'mug shot' portraits.
Hi, Sheila...Happy Valentine's Day. I like your "mug shots". That Maltese is great!
Oh I really like this one - my favorite cat so far. Great shadows and the colors and texture are purrfect!
Thank you, Karen. I really appreciate your input!
Dean, This cat is beautiful... Wonderfully done!!
Beautiful job, Dean! The highlight in the right eye is so realistic. And I like the 3/4 angle too.
Thanks, Sally...I appreciated your thoughts. I personally like this approach to painting. I appreciate your encouragement.

Hi Robin..thanks for stopping in and the kind remarks.
Beautiful painting! I especially love how you handled the highlight areas on the face and the red/orange and blue background, whiskers too. I guess I just love the whole thing!
Thank you, Carrie, for letting me know what you liked. Hopefully, in the future, I may be able to repeat some of these points.
Dean, I have browsing through your artwork and have found myself mesmerized by your style..it's color and vibrancy and quality. And kicking myself for not visiting you sooner. I also thank and welcome you to my blog...I have a little cat thing going too. Looking forward to future works.
Thank you, James, for doing me the honor of following my blog.
I have been enjoying yours for a while...keep it coming.
