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!

Contemporary Kitten

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel. This is another in my contemporary explorations. The first was a cat posted here on Feb. 14th. It starts with a canvas which is basically toned with acrylic to resemble an abstract. The subject is then painted on top of this with oils. I allow much of the pre-existing acrylic the remain visible in the final painting. I may have overpainted this one and covered too much of the acrylic.
