Pre-Raphaelite Redhead - Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

I'm much happier with today's painting of a head.  Kind of has a PreRaphaelite feeling with that long red Lizzie Siddal type hair.  I took a couple of pics of it while I was working on it at first, but then forgot to get any towards the end because I was in the swing of painting and not thinking about anything else.  Original oil painting, 11 by 14 on archival gessoboard.

Here are the "in-progress" pictures ...

The Alchemist's Cat - Original Black and White Cat Oil Painting with JW Waterhouse "The Crystal Ball"

Finally, a larger painting!  I worked on this 11 by 14 painting yesterday and today and I'm happy with the results.  All of my favorite subjects here!  Black (and white) cat, crystal balls, potion bottles and JW Waterhouse's painting "The Crystal Ball" in the background.  Oh yes, and peacock feathers : - )  Who would have guessed peacock feathers would be so fun to paint?

 Here was the start from yesterday ...

And the finish today ...
