“White Cat Study,” 4” x 5”, acrylic cat painting on canvasboard, $50. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com .

SOLD.

The sunlight was fabulous this morning, so after I opened up the studio, I decided to paint something swimming in lighter values. This particular piece has so many subtleties to it – the glazes shift from pale yellows to pinks, with a few touches of greens and violets for good measure. The brushwork is thick – at one point I started using globs of paint to indicate the direction of the fur, and I built upon that texture further by dry-brushing additional layers overtop.

So there you have it, a simple, bright little piece for this sunny Monday.

Thanks, as always, for looking.
And for sharing these paintings with your friends and family.
