2010 Tuxedo Cat Ball Kitty

This was a fun and interesting painting for me. I took my 2009 painting of the Tuxedo Cat on Red and repositioned the cat to make it look as if he was laying on a soft and comfy pillow. This one will be auctioned off at the Tuxedo Cat Ball, with all the proceeds going to benefit all the furry little babies at Safe Haven for Cats.

Biggs

I might play with it some more, but my goal was to paint him with bigger and looser brush strokes and not to get caught up in the details - I think I accomplished that!

Tux Brothers

Meet Max and Mickey...Two brothers perfectly attired for the upcoming Holiday season. I love the contrast of their black and white coats against the beautiful burned orange. I used Grumbacher Brown Pink mixed with Gamblin radiant white for the background. I am really falling in love with the Grumbacher's version of Brown Pink- I think because it's really not pink.
