Sienna and her babies
September 26th, 2006
This is a commissioned painting of Sienna, a beautiful Burmese cat and her litter of Tonkinese kittens. They are so sweet and they make a wonderful picture of happy feline family life. I started with sketch ideas.
Then I sketched out the pose on to canvas and using very light layers of acrylic I started to build up the dark layers of Sienna herself, the golds in the background and the darker noses and ears of the kittens.
Then I concentrated on Sienna, bringing her form to life on the canvas. Now to start on the kittens……
And here is the finished painting with the kttens fully developed and the background deepened.

I know the owner of Sienna must be SO excited. We can already “see” how comfortable both mom and babies are. LOVELY!

Yep! As wonderful as we all knew it would be; another awesome painting. Now… if we were all lucky enough to be curled up in that pile of kittens!
