Gray Cat Portrait Done





I haven't blogged anything for a few days because I have had bronchitis. Finally got some antibiotics and am feeling much better now. Being sick sucks and I have too many projects that need my attention to be sick!

I have posted the latest portrait commission that I have recently completed. The completed portrait of the gray cat is first then the photo I did it from is below it. It was done mostly in graphite pencil but the yellow eyes were done in colored pencil. The client wants to make some decals of the portrait so he can stick one onto his instrument case.

A rather strange thing happen this week. An outdoor art show (Art & Roses) that I do every year that is as regular as clockwork got cancelled! Apparently the local Boise Parks and Recreation had a scheduling conflict and scheduled an event for the same day as the art show. What doesn't make sense is that they knew about this show because it comes every year on the same date for the past ten years. Now all of the sudden they have a schedule conflict. They never even told the Art & Roses people about this event so they could reschedule. I don't know--something smells and it's not the roses!

This is a beautiful portrait! I have heard of artists having their art put on decals or portable mural paper too. It might be an idea for you. A pet artist who does this was featured in the new issue of Art Calendar Magazine (May '08) so you might want to check that out!
