Forever Friends-Big Ears And Chloe

The start

Acrylic on 5x7 hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The hostess, Elizabeth, provided the photos.
These are her two cats, Big Ears and Chloe, caught in a touching moment. She lost both of them a month apart, from two different terminal illnesses.
I know how much this hurts from my own experience with my little dogs.

The acrylic is used much as thinned watercolor...looking for an expressive feel.

Thanks for looking.

Break Me Off A Piece Of That Blankety Blank Bar-Cat

Oil on 7x5 hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's DPW Challenge. It was hosted by the fabulous artist, Dreama Tolle Perry. She posted a photo of this cat. It will be great fun to see the many creative versions that are sure to come!

Once again I used the rounds in place of the usual flat brushes. I smooshed the paint on thickly and looked for spots where I could push the color and be a bit creative with it. I loved trying to render that strong sidelight!
All in all, I'm happy with it. Plenty of fun!

Easter Pinup-Keeta The Cat

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 hardboard.

This is my painting for the WDE at Wet Canvas. Shar was the gracious hostess this week who supplied the reference photos. This was done from a picture of her cat, Keeta.
Keeta was decked out in the Easter bonnet in the photo in an inside setting. I added the floral setting from another reference photo. I like how it all came together.
I managed to give it plenty of texture and color.
Hope you all like it!
