Given that the cute cat face on the easel sold yesterday, and given that my mojo has been missing all week, I thought I'd give the cute cat face another go. It's on a 5x5 canvas instead of the little 3x3's on the easel. I felt better about myself after this painting. It went smoothly, the colors were relatively unimportant...grays, browns, blacks, semi-whites. It's such a relaxed cat-bliss sight, that I was very happy with it as I stood back and looked it over to see if I deemed it "done". Dave had on a car-program while I was painting, and as I was finishing up, the car-guy on the program said something to the effect of: a good artist knows when to stop and call their artwork complete. He was referring to an old car they were refurbishing, but I took it as a sign to say, "He's right. I think this one is done."
