"Maggie Kitten," image approximately 10" x 5" roughly centered on a 12" x 9" piece of bristol board, done in acrylics, depicting little Maggie and her spotted belly, Private collection.
I suspect Maggie's painting will quickly become a favorite, so I loaded her up onto FineArtAmerica, where you can order reproductions and notecards.
There's lots of other paintings there, too (I have well over 200). I recently added a gallery exclusively for images new to the site, to make it easier for regular visitors to see what's changed.

Enjoy your weekend,

I lighten with titanium white and darken with one of the blues and a touch of one of the reds. As a side note, at this time last year I was really struggling with my limited palette (I went from about 60 pots of paint to 3), but I have lived the benefits – I am so much more familiar with what I can mix given just this handful of colors. My paintings are also m...
