Cat and Bird Painting

Pippy’s Adventures continued.  If a cat and bird can be kind to each other, then we can be kind to everyone as well.  Let’s do it, shall we?

Many of these beautiful paints are handmade and very special indeed.  The flow from one to the next and pattern of colors makes for a charming little piece.  I’ve got the entire series, many of which I haven’t posted, on my website at:

Birds and Cats!

Here’s the continuing saga of Pippy the Adventuresome cat and his friends!

He does just want to come for a visit!

These are very special paints - many of which are handmade watercolors.  You can see that many of them are very shiny - they’re full of mica!  There are also some paints called ‘color shift,’ which change color under different light or the change of an angle.

This is one in a series of Pippy the Cat paintings which I have for sale at:

New Bird/Cat Series

This is the third in a series I’m working on called ‘Pippy’s Adventures.’  What do you think is going to happen as the story unfolds?  You can find my previous two paintings down in my timeline and tomorrow I’m going to spend the day photographing, editing and putting them in my Etsy shop!

New Bird Painting

Birds on a wire.  I adore the paints marching across and changing colors.  I think the birds do too!

I have ALL KINDS of beliefs about what’s going on in the world right now; many are very STRONG.  But right now, just for this little bird moment, let’s be happy.

Comparing Acrylic to Watercolor

Do you prefer one over the other?

First painting:  Acrylic

Second painting:  Watercolor and ink

For me watercolors tend to be more ‘free.’ I like to quickly draw, quickly paint and have it be a little crazy.  

With acrylics I get a little pickier and can spend a LOT of time on them.  You can see that the BEGGAR’S face is detailed, but the farther you get from his face, the wilder it gets.  That’s simply my style, and helps you focus on what’s important instead of, say, his tail.  So... which do you like better? :)

Cat Painting Finished!!

May I present my newest painting!  Once more I have given birth.  That’s what it feels like! 

This is ‘The Beggar.’ You can find many works like this on my website.  Doesn’t he have a beautiful face? ❤️ 

This is an acrylic on canvas.  I used a photo of our cat, sitting on my studio floor, begging for me to love him. 

There.  Everything cleaned up. :)

New Painting Coming!

Bright!  No filter needed! Watch for my new painting in the next couple days.  When I’ve got two or more brushes loaded simultaneously it’s a good thing.  It means I’ve done some serious planning and pre-frenzy work and now it’s all out.

Aren’t these colors luscious?

 Stay tuned!
