Angel Cat

Here is the progression of Izzy.  I started this painting out with greyscale.  I can’t begin to tell you why.  I almost never paint this way.

Maddison watched the squirrels and the birds as it rained.

I love painting.  I especially love it when I get lost in the process.  I did today.  I like the blue background so far.  At this point I was still undecided as to what color I was going to make Izzy. 

After considering several different options, I settled on lavender.  I’m glad I did now, although at first I was questioning my choice.  Sometimes, I make decisions and I’m sure about them.  When this happens I just keep going and hope I like it in the end.

Once I settled on the lavender, I knew that I had to have some green somewhere.  At first I added green to the eyes.  I loved it, but it wasn’t enough for me so I made his wings green.  Hey!  Who says a cat angel can’t have green wings?  LOL 

It’s looking better but it still needs some more shading and deepening of color. 

Now that’s better! More color and some additional outlining with the black.  Every single color in this painting has some black in it.  I love the way it made the colors work together so seamlessly. 

Now look Izzy in the eye and tell him he aint cute!  LOL  Thanks for having a look.  I really enjoyed sharing this.
