| I must have used a quarter of a large bottle of masking fluid. |
 |
| I poured, using permanent rose, aureolin and indanthrone in very dilute applications. |
 |
| I masked some more, and did another application of the same colors. I missed photographing the next step. There I went from pink to alizarin crimson to get darker shadows. |
 CATAWAMPUS 32.5 x 19.5 cm. |
| This is the painting now, in need of some careful glazing here and there, but basically done. I love that word "catawampus" - it means kitty-cornered or at an angle. As my purpose and focus with this painting was the backlighting on the cat creating that angled shadow, I thought the name perfect. |
