I had fun with this one by under-painting with acrylic gold glitter paint which shows through in selected areas. This cat that has a glittery surface is one of my Halloween decorations, as are my Fall leaves that are edged with glitter.   I needed something else in the upper left corner, especially because the cat appeared to be looking at something.  I really liked the moon.  I hope you do too!

This is the latest challenge from the Daily Paintworks site.  This challenge is offered by Dreama Tolle Perry.

We were to paint her adorable kitten, named "Kat" or to paint his toys.  I did a little of both!  I have two cats myself, so know how cute, but sometimes mischevious and possessive they can be, too!

"A Fish Out Of Water"

  6 x 6 inch square                          Oil on canvas panel          SOLD

This little fish is one of my collection of trinket boxes.  I liked the idea of the distortion that is made by glass.  I filled a pasta sauce jar with water and put my little fish behind it.   The only thing missing, are the rhinestones on the fish!          To Purchase, Click here
