Harry and The Daisies

Here's another one done this week. My cat Harry and a vase of daisies from the garden. I invented the rug so it's a bit weird but this was done for fun.

Charles reworked.

I pulled out an old sketch I did in a drawing class a few years ago and turned it into a painting. I've never attempted dark skin before and I think it looks OK. I'm thinking of making his tank a simple plaid, what do you think?
I've always been fond of this sketch because the model, Charles, had such a sweet face and demeanor. During breaks, he showed us pictures of his new baby. So sweet.

Finished?

I wonder if any artist ever feels as if they are truly finished with a work. I'm not happy with Amy's shirt and I may go back and make her have a little more form or shape but overall I feel like I'm done for today anyway. We'll see what my friends over at WetCanvas.com have to say about it too.

I made some changes to the shirt and I think I'm satisfied. The brush strokes are showing up more harshly here than they are in real life. I'm going to let this rest a bit before I varnish it to see if anything else bothers me.
