This piece is he 3rd in a 3 part series of my pet portraits. I began this series over a year ago and was happy to finish it off with my cat Sally. I painted the back ground and aides with acrylic to match the others in the series. Then I began painting the cat which I have definitely struggled with in the past. I found a way to draw her and capture the texture of the fur but had yet to capture this with paint. So with my new found love for oils I took a shot. I am very happy with the out come, because not only did I capture the texture of the fur but a bit of personality as well. Personality is hard to capture in a painting but I feel I definitely accomplished this with my use to color and how I brought her eyes to life. There for I feel this was a very successful piece and I grew a lot as an artist through this piece.
