BLACK MAGIC Cat

12x12 watercolor on Masters Premium 140 lb cold press paper done a few days ago to celebrate black cats and the magic they bring to us. Orange colors indicate possibly pumpkins he is peeping around or use your own magical imagination. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Cat in the Pumpkin Hat

6x6 watercolor on paper with drawing using Micron 01 pen last night.  Every now and then doing whimsical pet portraits is just plain fun.  Except this black imaginary fellow looks humiliated to say the least.

The Cat's Meow

11x9.5 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper with Daniel Smith paints; a cat who is busy talking a blue streak to someone, probably about his dinner.  In the photo which was black and white, the cat was actually a grey tabby, but I've used artistic license and made him black using all the darks on my palette except black.  I used quinacridone burnt orange, gold, violet, magenta; midnight blue, manganese blue, thalo green, ultramarine, alizarin crimson, green gold.  Happy Halloween, everybody!!!

It is Halloween-Pumpkin Kitty

15x11 watercolor of my kitty embracing a large pumpkin to celebrate fall and Halloween which is here!

Chris Beck had issued a challenge for us to paint a spooky image (not too sure mine is spooky but may be spunky).  She will be posting our images on her blog along with Pablo Villicana Lara on his blog.

Please take a look at our artwork on their blogs.
