Sam the Cat

This is my first oil painting with an acrylic underlay.  I discovered I like painting with oils. It blends better than acrylic paint and its kinder when you make mistakes.  You can remove that mistake allot easier than you can acrylic.  This is my sisters cat.  His name is Sam and as you see he is not camera shy.  He is lovable and I believe he thinks he's the man of the house.  He's likes to suck on his toes too!  You can Look below and see his photo the one I decided to use for my model.



 

Traverse City Canal
This picture is done in acrylic paints.  I reproduced one of my photo's that I had taken in Traverse City, Michigan.  It is a canal off of Lake Michigan, there has been a couple things that I had changed do to copy right laws.  My daughter and I shared the day, with her showing me around Traverse City where she resides. It was a beautiful day with her and I had a chance to take quite a few pictures that I can paint from.  So I hope you enjoy as much as I did.  Comments are appreciated.
