Sweet Williams Cat - 8" x 12"


This is my friend Bill's cat that acts like a dog. Even though it does'nt chase frisbees or balls, it does come to you when you call and it fetches mice instead. I used large brushes for most of the painting and tried to keep things simple, high keyed and a balance of warm and cool colors. The cat has all these soft edges and a variety of color, and sits in and around remnants of what was in Bill's garage before we tore it down. I like the look of cats as they are always on the lookout, and ready to pounce on something, even though it might take a few days before this happens, they're always ready....
