Every time I get the photos for a new commission sent to me it is like opening a gift, the wheels start turning on how I will approach the painting, especially when it is such a sweet face.

PICKLES

I might have said this before, I just adore painting animals. Every face is so unique and every owner loves their pet more than anything. Pickles colouring was so beautiful and with such a sweet face there is nothing better.

The woman who requested these paintings wanted two done with the same pose, I used a different palette for each just to change things up a little.

GREY CAT

6 x 8 inch oil
on 1/8th inch thick gesso board
SOLD

I have to say this beautiful grey cat was difficult to paint, or it could have just been the mental block that I conjured up. I get painting anxiety every time I do a commission, but I love doing them...go figure.
