"Pedicure" 9x12" oil on Raymar Linen Panel

I've been experimenting with Conte, charcoal, and pastel pencils this summer. I really love to draw, and I draw better than I paint. But I love colors and oil paints. So I've been working on different ways to incorporate the two into a style that I enjoy and find satisfying. I really believe I'm on the way to discovering my "real" style. The next few posts will show the results of my experiments. This painting was inspired by my cat, Gabriella. We had her front claws removed, but left her back claws. She likes to groom and pull on them with her teeth when we settle down to go to sleep. I like to watch her - she seems to enjoy it so!
