Girl with Cat

Began this painting several months ago in Acrylic Painting class (thank goodness for zoom, I tell ya). I finally finished it yesterday. But is it really finished? There is definitely more I could do but for now I shall put this gal and her Shoulder Cat to the side for a little R & R from my brushes. Overall, I think it turned out OK. I’m not happy with the texture of the painting because of how uneven the thickness of paint on my brush throughout. I also struggled on her damn feet. In the original National Geographic photo, she has flip flops on but because her feet almost touch the bottom of the canvas, I opted to take the flippies out. That was the easy part, really. Just getting the toes, ankle bones, etc.to look right was a chore. Little did this girl know when she posed for the picture that a random artist would be cursing her for having feet!
