White Turkish Van

White Turkish Van

 6"x6"

 Acrylic on canvas panel

This is re-do of a painting I did a while back for the "White on White" challenge.  That painting had a pale blue background and I always felt like it was a little washed out.  For this one, I went with a really dark blue background and I think the white cat really stands out now.  

The Turkish Van is also called the swimming cat, and although this one has two amber eyes, they sometimes have one blue and one green or amber eye.  Lovely cats!

Another challenging painting, and I am still not sure I am happy with it.  I'll look at it again tomorrow and decide.  

Lindsey's Cats - Maggie

This sweet girl was a challenge!  Her eyes are huge, and a little crossed, so it was difficult getting them to look right.  Still not sure Lindsey will like it, but she can still be tweaked a bit.  I think her nose may need to be a little pinker too.

I need to retake this photo - too rainy today for natural light!  But here it is - Day 3 of the challenge, and I am doing another of Lindsey's cats.  They are lovely cats, and I enjoy painting them, but, WOW - they take a lot of time.  I need to do something with a little less detail to finish this challenge!
