Sitting Pretty-Cat Portrait

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Mary was the gracious hostess

 The intense gaze of a cat often gets my attention as a subject.

I pushed the color boundaries in this one a little. As an experiment, I didn't use a toned panel this time. I really missed it. Lotsa paint!


C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting.

  4. I love the intense gaze of your cat and the bit of a push you gave your colors.
    It's interesting that you miss the tint; about two years ago, I stopped tinting my canvas and found I really enjoy working on the white canvas. Just goes to show there's more than one way to skin a cat. Oops!
