Feline Friday: Redo

I've mentioned before that I don't normally rework a painting, but it keeps happening lately.  Last month I finished a new flying cat painting and it was shown, along with the others in the series, at the Be Happy. Dammit show at the Museum Gallery/Gallery Museum.  While at the opening, I kept eying the new painting.  It was leaving me feeling unsettled.  The cat turned out more frightening than cute.  Now, I don't mind a bit of creepiness in my paintings from time to time, but it went far beyond that.  I don't know how I didn't see it before, or let it out of my hands without fixing it.  Anyway, I picked up the paintings from the gallery recently and FINALLY fixed the problem cat!  Man!  I feel so much better about it now!  Sorry to those of you that saw it prior to the redo.

Happy Friday!

In the Studio: Painting in progress

Last week I posted a sketch for another "flying kitty" painting.  I thought this week I would post an in progress snapshot of the painting.  The finished product will be on display in the Be Happy. Dammit. show at Museum Gallery/Gallery Museum, opening this Saturday, February 4.  Also, just for fun, I took some pictures of my palette.  I haven't cleaned it off in a few years.  It's starting to look like a world of it's own, don't you think?  My favorite part is the blue "crater."
