This 6x6" panel is painted in oils using the concept the fauvist's used...brighter colors. Jackson is my parents cat. They LOVE this cat. Jackson rules my parent's household, and he is HAPPY about it! I love Jackson...so I went to paint with my friend and fellow artist Carol Nelson who is currently doing 100 portraits in 100 days in the fauvist style and Carol tutored me through this. I haven't painted in oils for about 4 years, so it was a learning experience along with trying to capture Jackson for my mother's next Joy Day...since she hit a "certain" age she decided no more BIRTHDAYS...so she named it a Joy Day instead. Being her name is Joy it fits perfectly with her name as well as her personality!! So, shhhh...this is a secret from my wonderful mother til March!
