(The original painting below was done 8 years ago...)
Cat 14.
Acrylic on Masonite. 9" x 12".
Lizzy in a shallow cardboard box lid on the table. During
the winter months, the only direct sun (when we actually have sun)
comes through the dining room window for a brief hour or so, and I
placed a box on the table where the rare patch of sun will hit. Even on a clear day, the light in the winter months is very pale and weak. The shadows have a gray cast and there is a lack of saturation, as if the colors are being absorbed by the light.
I like the washed out grays with hits of more intense color. She had an intense expression and her eyes had an interesting luminosity with light passing through them as well as reflecting off the table surface. I like the compositional triangle created by the angles of the window frame, box lid and the ear.
