Sprite

Here is a portrait of Sprite, Cathy's very special cat.

When Dizzy and Sprite passed late last year, I sent Cathy gift portraits.

She commissioned another one of Sprite to match the one I did of Dizzy.

This painting should have been easy and straightforward, and it gave me so much trouble!

I even had to scrap the first attempt and start over!!

I haven't painted a klunker like that for a long time!

It's very embarrassing!!

Cats can be like that though, and Sprite was a quirky cat.

Dru says cats give her trouble too.

My cats have also given really accomplished artists trouble, it's a cat thing. 

They do it on purpose.

I'm so glad this painting is finally done!

And I'm so glad Cathy loves it and it makes her happy.

It's really a wonderful feeling to make others happy with my art.

6x8 oil

This painting is full of very expensive paint, which I love using.
