Number 9 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days

"Mandy and Elle"

10" x 10"

oil on canvasboard

I almost always start out with a 

red oxide underpainting.

On this one I left some of it showing through

as I liked it - 

it gives a reddish edge.

These two were kittens when I took this photo -

they were sharing a chairback by the 

long windows.

They belong to my brother and sister-in-law.

They have beautiful LOOOONG tails.

Very sweet and fun!

After I photographed the painting,

I finished that space

just in the distance 

where the oxide red was

really showing along the

deck rail, on the left.

Whenever I photograph my work,

I see gobs of stuff to fix.

But I am letting that go

during this challenge.
