Pandora's Morning Walk - Original Cat Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

After several days of rain and grey skies, we finally got some sunshine today.  Pandora the kitty was overjoyed to be out and about, checking out her territory.  I went over to the historic area of Los Rios Street to snap some pics this morning while the shadows were so long and nice and as I was walking up to my house who should I see but Miss Pandora, so she got her picture taken too.  She is usually more photogenic and more fun to paint than historic houses, so today's painting is Miss PD and her shadow.  An original 6 by 6 inch oil painting on archival gessoboard.

Tuxedo Cat Profile - Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Today's cat looks just like my Luna!  But it is not, it is Chipie, a tuxedo babe I found on Petfinders.  The coolest thing about tuxedo cats (besides how nice they are) are their white whiskers.  They are large and in charge, those white whiskers!  I painted this cat and before putting the whiskers on, the painting was only half finished - that's how important whiskers are on these tuxedo cats : - )
