Once again, this horizontal format just doesn't show well online, so PLEASE click the image to view it larger. I was so excited when I came up with the composition, and am really happy with how it turned out. I used brushes, knives and a squeegee, so it has lots of fun texture. Thanks for looking. : )

And now for an oil kitty. Or a kitty painted with oil... Can you tell I've already had a glass of wine? : )

This is a painting I did a few years ago with the idea of eventually getting into a gallery, mostly because I think it's so much better if you can see larger work in person. But I had trouble finding a good gallery fit, as you know if you've followed me. And now a lot of galleries are (sadly) closing, and many are going online. So I feel lucky that I'm already here! And I can list paintings without charging the extra 50% gallery commission. : )

This painting looks SO much better in person. There is a ton of texture that you can't see in the main image (so I tried to capture some of it in these close-up pictures). Also it's really difficult to get good pictures of big oil paintings. One must position the lights to avoid glare, but that often makes the light irregular - in this case the left/right edges of the painting got a little washed out.

My return policy makes it easy to return if it isn't a fit in your house - just use the original box, and pay for return shipping, and I'll give you a full refund.

It probably makes sense that I like big cats, considering I'm a Leo. They are such magestic animals. This is another one I did from a Pixabay reference. I think it's a tiger?

And above are some little studies I did for this month's DPW Challenge. The idea is to choose a subject and do a series that slowly gets simpler (but still reads like the thing). I did two sets, so top left of each set are my "complex" versions - ha! #2 is top, right, #3 is bottom, left, and #4 is bottom, right. This was hard for me!! My husband says it's because I already simplify my subjects. He's probably right. But if you find yourself overworking, and want to simplify, join us in this challenge!
