12" x 9" oil on stretched canvas
This portrait of sweet little Mitzi was delivered yesterday and I'm happy to say the client loved it - no changes or adjustments! Yea! For this painting I found myself again mixing with the neutral warm and cool gray tube colors from the Sandin Pro Mix Color System for flesh tones! I would have preferred a reference photo with a more direct gaze since a cat's eyes are so amazing! At least the green color shows and a hint of her personality comes through as she plans her next "adventure"! I am told Mitzi is always "up to something", and that she's very affectionate.
Mitzi is absolutely lovely Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteI am enthralled by the various colors in the couch cover, Rosemary. Very well done and they highlight that pretty kitty so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz and Sherry! Guess I did take a lot of liberties with the cover but there isn't much color in the cat herself! This was fun however getting the markings just right was tedious! I so appreciate your comments!
ReplyDeleterosemary.. wahta cuddley kitty and she look like she has a bit of spark in her eyes.. looking around for what is next?? beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI immediately fell in love with this painting for two reasons. First, it is so beautifully painted and has such warmth and charm. Secondly, this could be a portrait of my own sweet kitty. The coloring and markings are spot on, except my cat has a heart-shaped white spot on her upper left thigh above her white 'sock'.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful!!!
Wow , what a beautiful painting.The colours are refreshing and the form of the cat is too good.
ReplyDeleteAmazing work as usual.
really nice Rosemary. It is very life like and goes well with your background.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cindi! I'm so glad you like Mitzi. I've been working on another cat portrait...will post it soon! Thank you so much for taking time to stop by and leave a comment - I know how precious your time is - so please know it means a lot to me!
ReplyDeleteClaire, you made my day! I do not live with a cat so had to rely on observing the neighbor's cat along with the photos to capture Mitzi! That you see a personality in her portrait means a lot! I know your kitty is precious with her white sock! Thanks, Claire!
ReplyDeleteRishi and Gary, thanks for your comments! I really appreciate your taking a look!
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary, Love your kitty painting, you just want to reach out and feel that soft fur. I haven't been by in a while, don't know why, lol. I'll do better. Hope things are well with you.
ReplyDeleteHey Barb! Thanks for stopping by. So glad you like the painting! Things are great - just busy as I know they are with you! I have been by your blog but haven't slowed down to leave a message - I will do better too! :-)
