Lilly and Harvey - first painting of 2009

Today I have finished the portrait which I have been asked to do before the holidays. Christmas as usually arrived somewhat unexpectedly. I mean when you are waiting steadily for some time you start getting used to this position and then suddenly it's here and you are already standing in the church singing Oh come, Oh Ye Faithful to your heart's content.It was a good Christmas and an unusual New Year in the company of my aunt from Spain. Now it's finally back to work time and here is my first painting marked 2009.

Tenderness

I did those cats yesterday during my art group session. It was a bit of an experiment with textures, but I am pleased with the results. I think I will explore this style further

Birman Cat in Golden Pendant

Birmans is one of my most favourite cats breeds. I felt like painting cats today so I produced this. I wonder where the fancy will take me tomorrow?

This is a tiny artist card. Its size only 2 x 3 inches. I love this art form for its immediacy. In watercolour I prefer the smaller sizes. I don't know why but I have a kind of phobia of the large formates. It's difficult to explain. I have a feeling that the painting should be as significant as the size of it but my themes often don't qualify or rather I perceive them this way. I know it's a bit irrational. I guess I should make myself to face this fear more and to get used to the bigger sizes. Well it's the goal for the future and in the mean time I love painting this kind of bijou.
