lynx cub painting

[DaveHawk]

I finally started a new painting in 2014. I have 4 sections in this so far. This will be a full body with some surrounding 18x24. The cub is so cute I just could not pass up painting it.

    All right Dave.... can't wait to see this one . Looking good already.

Thanks Hawkens,
if you have a constructive criticism feel free. I painted for an hour last night , American Pickers was on and the shop
would not not warm up enough to feel comfortable enough to paint.
This is interesting. I only paint under yellow light  but the white light tends to see like the photo. To much blue for my taste.

Dave,
Your work is outstanding. Might sound funny but I like this one just the way it is.

Thanks Papa, I have a good friend who says that all the time.  I see what you mean but I also see where this is going.

Dave  I kinda like it under the white light........... It makes it look like its a cold winter evening if ya know what i mean.

Nice

[DaveHawk]

Thanks Old Salt !
Got a nice full day in on this Sunday. Worked out a back ground .

[DaveHawk]

with the background roughed in I started working the detail. that will be behind a small pine.  I'm totally not sure about this but I want this kitty to have a good 3D look.

[DaveHawk]

I still need to figure out what I will do with the right side.  But I figure I have tomorrow and all weekend. This snow will cripple the DC area I hope then I can paint till I'm sick of it. LOL

[DaveHawk]

with all the snow and a lot of down time I was able to get some good time in on this.

Calling this one Done. After a day painting waiting for the GE repairman to show up , I was able to get a full day in instead of 2or3 evening sits. Thanks for the comments and following. Now to find the next one.
