Black Cat Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Another painting of my favorite model the squishy Tishy.  This is a little painting for a change, 8 x 8 inches.  I have a box of black plein air frames that are 8 x 8 inches so I thought I would paint up some black cat paintings to fit them for the October art show.

Large Black Cat Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Today's BIG black cat painting is 24 x 36 inches - that's a big cat face!  Painted from yesterday's study, I am happy with the results.  It is fun to paint big!

Cat Painting - Black Cat Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Another sketchy, loose oil painting of a black cat, 11 x 14 inches on archival gessoboard.  A study for a larger painting which I will start tomorrow.  I think I will leave in more of the body at the bottom for the larger version.  I'm happy with the overall sketchy appearance of this one.  Kind of like the look of a pastel painting, but done in oils.
