Annabella – A Burmese Cat Painting – Commission

This is Annabella, a stunning Burmese cat. Isn’t she just amazing? Her colouring is so pretty and delicate, she was quite a challenge to paint. She is a tortoiseshell and her creamy coat has blue/lilac tones in it. But against that lush, red background her coat really seems to glow.

The reds were a difficult part of the painting. There are several reds from cold, blue reds like Alizarin Crimson to bright, warm reds like Cadmium Red.

This is a large painting, a 20×16 inch oil painting on board. Here’s a close up …

I’ve loved painting her for Kati from Kissmollin cattery.
