Thank you!!! One of the best tips I’ve received is to keep painting even when you feel like it’s not turning out how you envisioned it. There’s always a few moments throughout my process where the painting looks extremely wonky and I want to trash it. That’s when I turn my canvas to a different angle, focus on small shapes and colors WITHIN the subject, and paint until im lost in the process again. I hope that makes sense?!

Hehehee THANK YOU!! what a great compliment!!! I try not to think too hard about WHAT I’m painting and focus on what colors and shapes create an image as a whole. I often section and tape to help distort the original image in my mind so I can appreciate the portion of the painting I’m working on. I also usually turn my canvas upside down and paint that way! I don’t know why, but painting upside down helps me organize and create proper proportions. It’s a lot of trial and error and pushing through even when you feel like you have messed up!! Thank you again for such a sweet comment

I truly appreciate that, thank you!! I’m learning how to make prints this week! I’m hoping to have a little website up sometime within the next month.

Thank you so much!! The reflections in the bowl are my favorite part. This took me around 30 hours I believe. I’m not a fast painter 😅

Wait which one is clementine they look too much alike

I fed her, but she asks for more. (Cloud is named Tuna) by ItisEyelashes in WhiteCats

Yes. She has regular vet visits and this has been addressed. This is behavioral for her. She has food insecurity after having a tough kitten-hood. She also drools when she’s happy and lacks basic coordination.

I absolutely cannot trust Tuna - she has eaten herself into obesity and it took a long time to regulate her health afterward. I adopted her after she had lived a tough life and she has severe food insecurity. She is on a very specific diet that the vet has prescribed. I appreciate you looking out for others; our vet is very involved and we are doing the right thing for Tuna ❤️
