Sophie and Ted – cat painting
This painting is just finished today. It is of Sophie and Ted, two lovely cats. I worked from two reference photos to create one composition. I worked with acrylics on stretched canvas 20 x 30 cm in size. I decided to use a red ground underneath. This brought a lovely warmth into the painting. I…
Two Cats on the Stairs

I have blended the pencil well to create a softness to the portrait. The client wanted to show the whiteness of…
