(You can view both cat paintings and their paintings as they progressed in the Cat Portrait category.)

Joey’s portrait is complete! It will take a few days for the painting to dry before I varnish and scan the details for you to see in a finished state. It’s a little bitty 4×4 painting, as you might be able to tell from the quarter sitting beside it.

Here’s another underpainting, this is Littles, an 8″ x 8″ oil portrait. Both Joey & Littles will take a day or two to dry before I can work their next layer(s).

Joey and Littles are two cat portraits that I’m working on in oils. This is the underpainting of Joey’s portrait. Joey’s painting is small (4″ x 4″), so it will probably only need one more layer of fur and enhancements before he’s finished.

Pending any last minute tweaks, Bindi’s portrait is complete. I’ll follow up with scan & detail images after any final revisions are made and he’s dry & varnished.

I had hoped to finish this painting today, but that didn’t happen. I dislike very much (read: hate) being off schedule, dangit. And it’s a self-imposed schedule at that. I’m a terrible boss, and obviously I’m rebelling against myself, or something.

Seriously, jeesh, the day I’ve had. If you’re ever wondering what dehydrated and partially digested strawberries look like at 7AM, you just let me know. iew. Also, if sores of the feet are interesting to you, say if you have a fungal foot fetish? I’m your mom. But I digress.

If you want to see this painting as it progresses, click on this category: custom cat portraits. I painted as much as I could today, and this kitty has about eleventy-thousand more hairs on him that I need to paint. I didn’t really count them all, I’m just guessing! C’mon, ya’ll know about me and math, we don’t get along.

Anyhoo, tomorrow is the big “C” day. I get to have a cat scan of my very unique and oh-so-rare herniation, because not only is my art going to be in an educational book some day, so are my small intestines. I’m so popular, I can’t stand all of the attention. This really has to stop. Really.

I’d LOVE to finish Bindi’s portrait tomorrow. He’s going to be amazing, and I think I’m as excited to see him finished as my client is!

‘Nite! :wave:
