Jo

[Diane Cutter]

Definitely going after all those shadowy stock! It's a great piece, Jim... Nicely done washes there...

Welcome to the forum... I hope you have more like these coming off your brushes!

Nice one, Jim. Looking for more!

[Mikki Petersen]

Whoa! I can see him coming at me but the next glance he's moving out...what an interesting effect. Did you mean for that to happen? Either way, it's a very good painting.

Thanks all!
I had no idea this coming-going effect would happen when I did the painting, but it's just one of art's happy little accidents and I love it. It gets people talking.... :)

Jim this is one of those paintings a person could look at for hours, seeing it change from one direction to the other.

I decided he was coming, only because I can't see the outline of his tail, but now my eyes only say he's going. Which did you intent for? Very cool.

[MKathleen]

Well, I say he's going too. Interesting idea, I like it! Thanks for sharing.
