PA Lesson 37 - Inquisitive Cat

[Steve Weatherwax]

Outstanding, Patricia!  The eyes look great to me. The difference from the lesson helps to make this painting yours. Over the summer we adopted a Maine Coon Cat kitten. She's just starting to come into her own and is taking on that bobcat look. I'd love to be able to paint her someday.

   Steve for your encouragement. So pleased to hear that you adopted a kitten and you must paint her for it makes the painting of a loved pet so special. Be sure to show us when you do paint her.

Lovely, lovely cat, Patricia.

The quality of your work astounds me every time.

Mea,    so much, you have a way of lifting me up to dizzy heights.  I was worried about the quality of my work because I am working in the night, which seems to be my only free time and my eyes aren't so good anymore so I do struggle but thank you for always being so encouraging. Bless you.

No problem, Patricia. It is still a very well executed painting - and that is what counts 

[Happychappy]

   so much Dennis for always encouraging us too. It means so much to me.  Thank you.  Patricia

Beautiful painting Juan and Patricia.       

Patricia did you know that there is a "workable fixatif from Krylon" you can add more pastel on it when dried.   Still you did a great pastel
Painting.   
  to the both of you.

[Happychappy]

   for your message Danielle.  Yes, I do remember about the workable fixative but I am not to keen on spraying anything for my chest closes with some odours which sends me into a panic as I can't breathe so I leave spraying very much alone but thanks so much for the suggestion. Strange to say, some odours I can handle but others almost kill me.

  Patricia!!!  Beautiful work on the cat.     If you had not mentioned the eye I would never have noticed anything amiss....they still look gorgeous to me  and I'm looking!     You and I apparently suffer from the same condition..... self-critic-itis      No fear....there is a cure!        

All of my art stuff has been packed away ready for our move up to Belize, but this is the next pastel for me. I should have much more free time once up in Belize.

[Happychappy]

   Val for always coming to my aid ... what is the cure for self-critic-itis???  Look into your crystal ball and let me know please  .


Looking forward to seeing your rendition of the cat when you are in Belize with more time on your hands. Smooth sailing and safe travels.

  Your cat is perfect, Patricia. I don't even see the eye problem. The cats or yours.  You are producing amazing and beautiful work at a rapid pace AND at night. It seems to me you are handling the lighting quiet well. 

[Happychappy]

Kathy    for your lovely message. I am SO FAR behind in my artwork and was becoming overwhelmed so I am trying to catch up by doing art in the nights.  Thank you for always being so encouraging which really spurs me on.

Dear Patricia. Love your work on the cat. Beautifully painted. The shadows are given it the right forms and the eyes are very alived. 

[Happychappy]

   Juan for your very sweet message which I appreciate immensely.   Patricia

  Val for always coming to my aid ... what is the cure for self-critic-itis???  Look into your crystal ball and let me know please  .

Well..... I have tried the tape  method, but that hasn't worked so well as it turns out... it slowed me down to a grumble and a mumble.... but it turns out I can still type!         
I'm sure there is hope for us self-critic-itis sufferers... I'll keep looking. 

  There's always Dennis' solution....
