Milk for Blood

Work in progress. Inspired by the story of St. Catherine and various other martyrs whose wounds bled milk. I tried to imagine a practical purpose for such a gift. I think I also blended it in with the idea of nursing, and how it can be tedious and isolating and tiring.

Three Cats, Day Two

Here is the three cat portrait on the second and final day of work. I had to change the middle cat. I thought he looked a bit frightened before, but now he looks very cosy with his little tucked in paw. This is a work on canvas 11" x 14". It's a very nice canvas with a two inch profile, gallery wrapped, with all the stapling in the back, and the sides are painted a matching green. I will send this canvas already wired for hanging.
And now I've hit a dull patch. I haven't had a commission this week, but I hope I get some people portraits soon. Not that I don't enjoy painting pets, but I like a little variety.
