Oil painting 11" x 14".
The original was painted several years back, around y2k time. It was a commission from my landlord who, failing to get actual _money_ out of me for rent, came up with an alternative payment option. The idea for the subject matter was their's (they have a calico cat with one greenish eye, one amber) - title was mine (it seemed like it might have been original back then. I see others in the furry kingdom have used it by now - there's even a cute squirrel on deviantART with the title, I see. But well, that's what I named this piece back then and that's what it stays).
I smoothed it out in Psp a bit to get rid of the annoying canvas texture which became highlighted by photographing the painting. For all the snazzy brushstrokes, check full-size view. Thanks for looking.

I do have one tiny crit for you (this is how close i looked). The brim of the pipe looks like it's in front of the smoke (the part that's supposed to be behind the smoke.) Just add another smudge on it or cool the temperature on that part of the rim, and I shall say no more ill of your painting.
I absolutly love this, though!
And I LOVE it when people look that close. It makes all the work more worth it knowing someone has really LOOKED at the final product. And yes, I see that: the effect of the brightness of the brim and the thinness of the smoke does sort of give the appearance of the smoke coming from _behind_ the brim. Yeah, that is a very simple to fix thing. After I change it (later tommorrow sometime) people will wonder what the hack we were talking about ...
Thanks again, my talented pirate friend!

You are the master of oil and acrylic paintings
I've always been really mediocre with oils, and i took tons of painting classes trying to get good at it. And then when i finally discovered liquin helped my painting a thousandfold, somebody stole ALL of my oil supplies from my tabaret in the classroom. Even the pliers i used to open the paint with, and my nasty smock. It was an expensive loss, and probably a sign that i was never meant to paint in oils. Oh well. I'll stick with watercolor and guache, since it's less likely to give me cancer.
Um, that was me rambling. Sorry. I really am curious as to how you got the oils to do that with the fur and the eyes.
Yes, I use liquin - great stuff. On some things like the eyes, I generally work in transparent glazes of color to give it a greater feeling of "depth". Glazes always look more lustrous whereas mixed paint tends to look flatter.
I actually use acrylics more these days - less muss and fuss - but I still will do an occasional oil here and there just to keep my hand in it, so to speak.
