Three Eyed Black Cat Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Finally the weather is not topping 100 degrees, so back into the studio for some fun.  I painted the blue-green fescue grass that the 3-eyed black cat is looking through.  I'm happy with this one and plan on doing more fantasy and surreal paintings in the future.

This painting is available on my ebay auctions HERE.

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

Well, it was like pulling teeth getting started painting today!  I hadn't done much painting at all for at least a month because I was so busy getting everything packed and ready for the new antiques booth.  So my first attempt at painting today got wiped off - we call that a wiper.  But not to be discouraged, I went in the house and watched some of Susan Lyon's portrait painting video and after watching I was much inspired and made another attempt.  This time the painting worked out just fine.  I highly recommend any and all of Susan Lyon's painting videos - she is an amazing painter and a wonderful teacher.

Today's original oil painting closeup of a black cat's face is 8 x 8 inches on archival canvas board and is available on my ebay auction HERE.

Cat Painting - Original Oil Painting of a Black Cat Profile by Diane Irvine Armitage

Another in my series of 8 x 8 inch original oil paintings of Morticia, this one is a profile painting.  Keeping it loose and just enjoying the process!

This is my 100th post, so that means I must have at least 100 paintings under my belt since I started painting last August : - )

You can find this painting and all my other black cat paintings on my Pinterest Gallery page HERE.
