Self Portrait-Self Confidence

Self Portrait - Watercolour - 9" x 12" - October 2011

I've been painting so many cats lately, needed a little rest from all that fur, so thought I'd do a quick self-portrait. I started last night and finished this morning - a record for me probably, with watercolour!

I enjoyed the technique when I painted the portrait of my cat Sienna, what with her face in full focus, and the rest of her body blurred out, painted in a much looser technique. This portrait is not meant to be blurred out, but I enjoyed the freedom and looseness applied to the hair and shirt.

Pretty damn pleased with this one!

Thanks for looking!
