It's Done!!!


I took some excellent advice from members of the WetCanvas community and added a thin glaze of burnt sienna over the tail and hind quarters to give it more depth. As one individual remarked "the tail looked like it was growing from the cat's head". Too true. I feel like the adjustment has fixed that problem for the most part, and has also helped the composition a great deal by pulling more attention to the cat's face. I haven't signed it yet, but I'm willing to call it done now. In a few months I'll varnish it and it should be ready for a frame, or sale...

It looks great! I'd never be able to part with it if I could produce something like that. That's one predicament I'll never have.

Excellent!

"PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION" AND IN OUR MODERN ERA, PRIDE AMONG THE NATURAL SCIENCES HAS TAKEN THE FORM OF OVERESTIMATING OUR KNOWLEDGE, OF ARROGATING FOR SCIENCE A KIND OF OMNISCIENCE THE WE DO NOT IN FACT HAVE. OR, TO REFINE IT A BIT: "PLAYING GOD" MEANS WE CONFUSE THE KNOWLEDGE WE DO HAVE WITH THE WISDOM TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
