"Dolly & Reba"

 

A friend of mine asked me if I'd do a painting of his daughter's cats, from a photo he'd taken. I reluctantly said yes, since I don't have a lot of experience painting animals. And as it turned out one of the cats was black, making it even more challenging. I originally tried mixing a couple colors to create the black, but it ended up being too purple. so I opted for a mixture of Carbon Black and Cobalt Blue. Then I mixed in a bit of white for the highlights. Does it work? You be the judge.

"Steely Resolve"

  I haven't done an acrylic painting of a steel mill in a while. SO I thought I'd do another one.  I gave this one a looser treatmen...
