Curtain Call, 12" x 1", portrait of a pair of kitties, done in acrylics on a museum quality panel. Warm, warm thanks to Dog a Day fan EW for her laughable series of photos that inspired this painting. $599 to the first asking nicely.
NOTE: Thanks to all who submitted title suggestions for this painting! I think you done good!!

And while you are there, you can see the in-process pics of this painting, too! It wasn't an easy one - I had to remind myself of a very important lesson. Multiple times.
Thanks so much for supporting my artwork!

They suggested key plot/conceptual changes that made it oodles better. Designer Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson worked her magic, pairing the images with perfectly color...
