"Sprinkled with Sugar"

8"x8" oil on gallery wrapped canvas

This is Sugar. She's my cousin's cousin, Lisa's barn cat. She took a wonderful photo of her that I just had to paint. I loved her expression. I'm extremely happy with the finished painting. Love all the color! Did I forget a color?

This is just so amazing, Cheryl! I can't stop staring at it! Sugar never looked better- LOVE the colors & texture, and the way you captured her expression! Your talent is magical!

Thank you, Lisa! I think she's my favorite animal that I have painted thus far because the finished piece surprised me. I layed paint down and didn't want to interupt the magic that just happened, so I just fine tuned it. I'm glad you love it!!
