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.

3 Eyed Black Cat Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Here is my progress so far on this three-eyed cat painting.  It is Tish in the garden, but with an extra eye : - )  Once it is dry, I want to add some thin grass in front of her.

White Cat with Golden Eyes - Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Another white cat for today : - )  This time I used a dark background for some contrast.  I had a few panels laying around and I gessoed them white for my white cat series.  Much easier to paint a white cat on a white ground!  Today's painting is 6 x 6 inches on archival gessoboard.

White Cat Painting Number 3 by Diane Irvine Armitage

I think I'm finally getting the hang of painting these white cats.  I'm happy with today's painting, it has the look I was trying for.  Original oil painting, 8 x 8 inches on archival canvas board.

White Cat with Green Eyes - Impressionist Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

Wow - white cats are much harder to paint than black ones!  I painted a Facebook friend's cat yesterday, a white cat, because I have been wanting to paint some white cats and now's the time to get started.  Today I painted a white cat from Petfinder.  My first attempt today was a wiper, but I stuck with it and am pretty happy with the results.  I am learning new things and that is what painting is all about.  White cats are not exactly white, more of a nice grey in most areas.  Who knew?  More white cats to paint on the horizon!

This original oil painting measures 5 x 7 inches and is available on my ebay auctions HERE.

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

Today's (and yesterday's) painting endeavor is a very large, 24 x 48" canvas with a closeup of a black cat.  I have painted this cat before (Nancy's cat) and this is a variation on a theme.  Another painting for the booth at Pandora's Parlor.
