I have been grabbing a few hours now and then to practice my oil painting. Ta Da! I'm Watching You is finished. The subject is my cat, Shadow who often pretends to be sleeping but still has one eye open. He used to have one white whisker that looked pretty funny but now he has a few on each side, making his portrait more balanced. The painting is 3 × 4 so I had to cut and fit my own frame.

Love it--I am a fan of cat paintings except for those that suffer from terminal cuteness, but I think I m especially attracted to the composition and values in this painting--basically three different shapes in three different values, with a really bright light and really dark dark. Caroline
