Work in progress...

I'm taking a page from Brett over at Beat Canvas and letting you in on a work in progress. This time I've chosen to experiment with my watercolors; I've chosen a photo taken by my favorite snarky Jew, Laurence Simon (if you're offended by strong language, occasionally rude humor, and frank opinion, steer clear of his site). His kittycat Edloe recently passed away, and I've long been fond of his funny descriptions of her. Anyway, this is the photo I chose to work from:



I started working on it last night after the kids went to bed. This is what I've done so far:



I'll keep you posted. This may turn out to be a disaster; I don't know. But I'm going to give it a try nonetheless. I've always found depicting cats in drawings and paintings to be rather difficult. Their internal form is not easy to distinguish.

We shall see!

Work in progress, take two
