Two Cats - Interior with J W Waterhouse Psyche Painting - Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Today I painted my two black cats, Morticia and Luna.  They were sitting quite nicely on the piano the other afternoon.  It was a bit of a grey day with just a little light coming in from the window and some light from the chandelier above.  Again, it is fun to paint artwork on the walls, in this case J W Waterhouse's "Psyche Opening the Golden Box."  Original oil painting on archival gessoboard measuring 8 by 10 inches by me, Diane Irvine Armitage.

Interior with Black Cat and Cat Portraits - Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Another interior painting today, this one is black kitty Tish on her cat stand next to a series of cat portraits.  I just love to paint an interior with paintings on the wall.  So fun!  These are cat portraits painted by the lovely and talented Kat Corrigan.  Her paintings are especially fun to paint small, this is the second painting I've done with them in the background.  Also fun to paint the light coming in from the window and the shadows on the wall.  I think I'll have to keep this one : - )  5 by 7 inches on archival gessoboard.
