I've been wanting to paint this little beauty for some time, and I finally got to it today. After a busy day of the gym, shipping paintings, visiting my daughter - the biting cold winds were less than appealing to this painter! Taking care of those necessary computer chores, I turned my attention to the easel. Oh, it felt good to pull my brush through my paint, even if some of that paint needs to be scraped. I'll clean that palette another day, when I'm not chomping at the bit to paint. I primed this panel in a different color - a grayed down plum shade. I've been wanting to try it under my winter landscapes, but I just happened to grab it for tonight as well. I like it. I think the orange I use in the summer months is just too strong for the subtle colors of winter. I also brought my favorite palette knife out to play! I love the fresh marks this knife leaves in it's wake! With this old cat's beautiful coloring, I will definitely be painting her again! Painting number 1838 in 1838 days.
Oh this is adorable! I love it.
