Spikey


 I asked the photographer of this cat's photo if I could paint it  and she happily gave me permission.  Thanks Stephie for taking such a beautiful photo of your cat.  I painted this using only Grumbacher's Indigo on Arches 140cp.  Using this color brought back memories of how much we used India Ink and my dark fingers. I very seldom paint animals and am very proud of how well this came out.

    Beautiful, I can see why you wanted to paint it. I really like the limited pallette, very nicely done!
