Study of a Himalayan

SILHOUETTE


MISTAH KITTEH


NOW I LAY ME....


SIESTA


This is Sklyer. He has his own style and ended up making me have to change mine a little to suit him. He is one big ball of fur! He also doesn't care for me much. His mom gets beautiful pictures of him. She sent me a few that showed off his gorgeous eyes. He was pretty put out when I was snapping the camera around him. He didn't want to looks at me. In the end, I had to choose between his points and his eyes, so I made sure I got shots in which his features were best defined. The last picture, which I think really sums up the set, was taken by his owner. I was thrilled that I got a shot of his profile to show off his perfect face in silhouette. Study of a Himalayan: Silhouette, Mistah Kitteh, Now I Lay Me..., and Siesta. Acrylic on canvas, 8X10.

Harry Winston

Meet Harry! I began working on him about a month ago. Just about the time I decide to redo the downstairs of our home. He may have been the inspiration, as I painted the rooms different shades of gray. He is hanging in the art room right now. I haven't decided if he is finished yet. I'm holding off on the signature and the sealant until I'm sure. Harry Winston. Acrylic on canvas, 11X14.
