I found this image on paintmyphoto.com. I loved the simplicity of it. I have a fear of painting glass so it was a challenge for me. Usually I use many more colours in my paintings, this was a nice change, very soothing.
At a loss for what to paint, I headed outside and took a picture of one of our deck chairs. I have 4 and they are all different colours. Here is #1 which today is my favourite.
Jack is one of my favourite cats to paint, every time I go into the pet store he is sitting very regally up on his stoop, just high enough so that none of the dogs can bother him...he doesn't like to be bothered.
A friend of mine goes for a walk most days and passes this cat. He finally got close enough(now that the cat trusts him) to take some pictures. I love how his body and head are lovely and round.
For some reason I find it more difficult to paint animals with smooth lines. This was definitely a challenge for me.
