Back lighting is one of my favorite light effects of the sun. I discovered it when I did a lot of photography in bygone years.

Spa Window

I am working a bit more with figures, and I loved these two ladies looking into the window of this spa. I like their hats, and how they are positioned in the composition.

Gaia

This is my neighbours cat, who I occasionally feed when her owners go on weekends away in the summer. She is very sweet natured, and has the most beautiful green eyes.

I am attending a Karin Jurick workshop this November, and she recommended Ampersand Gessoboards, which I used for the first time with this piece. It has a smooth surface that has enough tooth to grab the the oil paint nicely. I also like the idea of not spending time prepping masonite myself. More time to paint!
