Ozzy - Portrait of A Snow Bengal

March 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.     Starting to develop Ozzy.

The canvas is pinned to a large board and the first underpainting is done. Then I start on building Ozzy’s form.

Working on the background.     Nearly finished, just the finer detail to do now.

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.

Hi Denise
You’ve done it again what a wonderful painting, so realistic the cat could be standing in front of you.
Well Done!!!

Denise,
As ALWAYS — You’ve captured the true intensity and given “LIFE” to the work. I know Ozzy’s owner (or should I say SERVANT) must be THRILLED!
I haven’t seen anyone else’s work that captures the expressiveness of their faces, and brilliant wild beauty,as you do.
WOW!

A very talented person to be able to capture animals that are so realistic. You can almost hear the cats purr.

Well folks, several people have asked if there will be prints of Ozzy. I don’t normally do prints from private commissions but Fiona, Ozzy’s owner, has very kindly given permission for a limited edition print to be created of Ozzy so that other people can enjoy him too. So I’ll have prints of him soon.

I am so pleased that Denise is releasing Ozzy as a print-he was our very special Bengal,but sadly went missing in October-so if anyone sees him out there!It is a very fitting tribute done to perfection.MANY THANKS DENISE!!!!!!
