The Cat's Pajamas - 36" x 36" acrylic.

The Cat's Pajamas - 36" x 36" acrylic on canvas. A big bright fun painting. I always knew I would do this idea and it may not be the last time either. This painting took an unusually long time to finish. Last week I thought it was done but it wasn't feeling right. As you can see below, the plan was to use the same colour pallete as Tolerance which would've made the fuzzy mice on the pj's really pop but instead it just felt too obvious and forced. It was always intended to be a happy painting and the greys made it feel drab. Today I added colour all through the background and the result is quite interesting. The dark cat and pj background make the cat recede away from you into what looks like a stylized fluffy quilt. I'm liking it today but let's just say I'm not going to varnish this one just yet.
