Pellet Portrait


Pellet Portrait, 6 x 6 inches, oil on panel- Collection of Artist

The weekly challenge this week for Daily Paintworks is "Paint your Pet"  I decided to paint my beloved cat that passed to kitty heaven last week.  He was named Pellet by my husband.  I wanted to name him roofus so I guess I can't complain.

Part of the challenge was to make sure your values are correct by making a black and white of the picture source.  I took it one step forward and made a black & white of my completed painting.  I'm happy with the values that make up Pellet, but could have done a better job with making the towel that he's wrapped up in darker than the background.

Cardinal Conclave

ACEO, 2.5 x 3.5 inches Watercolor, $ 18. Buy with Paypal As of this posting the Roman Catholic Cardinals are still in conclave to discover the next pope.  I'm not Roman Catholic but I do have a wonderment about the this process because it's so entwined in mystery.   This little watercolor Cardinal was at my bird feeder where he grabbed a sunflower seed and quickly flew to a tree limb to perch and enjoy.  After which he waits his turn to return.
