New Painting of Cotton

The small painting of Cotton got me warmed up and since I had a pallet of colors for him I carried on with the subject.  A white cat is so difficult to paint, you can't just use white and grey that's boring.  I may have overdone it with the pink -my kids think so-but I like it.

I haven't decided if I'm going to call this done or continue working on it, there are a few spots that don't seem quite right to me, but then again every time i try to fix one thing I mess up something else so maybe it's done.

New Painting for Upcoming Paw in The Door Art Auction

As I was searching calls to artists I came across a call for work from the Paw in the Door animal shelter in Bath ME.  They will be holding an auction in June and are requesting cat related art to sell.  I requested a panel which I received yesterday.  I began yesterday afternoon on this painting of my little Cotton -totally white, long hair and blue eyes.  White cats are a challenge since you can't just use white and grey.  I'm proud to say it looks nothing like the photo I used to go by but does look like Cotton.  Really hate to let this one go.
