The Pumpkin and the Cat
Canvas Board
5 x 7 Acrylics
This is a small little painting...not sure why I didn't just create it in my art journal, but these small canvas boards are kind of fun to use for a quick painting.
When I first thought about doing a painting on this canvas, I was going to do a pumpkin with an interesting background. This painting started with a green background with some other colors as well....and this is how I ended up. I do like the whimsical nature of folk art and I also love paintings that are filled with pattern...nothing left plain. I sometimes get into trouble with my art because I don't think things through...I go backwards which can make it actually more difficult to do. For instance, the window was put in last....If I had sketched the idea lightly on the canvas, painting it would have gone a little bit more smoothly. I think of the legs of the desk as sort of like the legs of a cat...rather delicate with similar feet. This is all I had time for this weekend. The leaves are changing and it was too nice to be indoors!
