Calvin the cat oil painting demo

This is my morning fun! At my workshop this past weekend, one of the artists showed me the photo of Calvin, and I knew right away I wanted to try painting him. And only crazy me would try something that I knew would be challenging to paint in one hour, and do it it live with my art friends watching. I almost chickened out this morning, but thought I tell my students to be fearlessly confident, so I should live by those same rules. And I must admit I was unsure during the awkward middle stages of this painting, but I do love the outcome. Always keep fearless confidence in your toolkit, it always comes in handy!
