March, 2006Big Green EyesMarch 16th, 2006 This is Frogsley, a cat with fabulous, HUGE green eyes. I’m sure these eyes are deadly weapons in the struggle to get humans to open the right tin! Could you resist him? I couldn’t. ![]() This is a quick sketch for a watercolour/acrylic painting on paper. And here he is, the finished painting. Click the image to see a close up detail.

Ozzy - Portrait of A Snow BengalMarch 2nd, 2006 This is a large acrylic commissioned painting of Ozzy, a Snow Bengal. He’s standing in a field of bluebells and forget-me-nots. The canvas is pinned to a large board and the first underpainting is done. Then I start on building Ozzy’s form. As Ozzy takes shape I move over to the background and start on the layers of colour that make up the bluebells and forget-me-nots. I want to keep the background very loose and soft. Then back to Ozzy for the final development. It’s nearly finished. Here’s the finished painting stretched over 20 x16 stretcher bars and varnished. Click the image to see a close up of the canvas. |
