I don't like cats much; they give me a headache. That's what prompted my idea to include her. Her being in the portrait, held my interest and served as a constant reminder of why I was painting this animal. Her presence also told me why it had to be my best effort.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-19410112120618299232012-11-09T11:45:47.236-05:002012-11-09T11:45:47.236-05:00The painting is so fabulous, brilliant idea, magni...The painting is so fabulous, brilliant idea, magnificently executed.

I'm hoping my touch ups yesterday have blended in, for I really don't remember what darks I used.

It also appears that even your darkest shades contains lots of layers color. It adds to the life of the painting.

I once read, it's in the artist's best interest to get all her work out of the studio--out of reach--for she'll never be totally satisfied with her work. I think there's some truth in that.
