New Malachy Painting and Old Cat Painting

I started this portrait of Malachy in class on Wednesday. It's 16x20. I'll update as I go.

You guys might remember this one...I started it months ago in acrylic and just lost my steam and it's been sitting around my room ever since. So last week I brought it into class and painted over the acrylic with oil and finally got somewhere with it. There is still a little tweaking to do (like the shadows and sun spots on the deck) but I'm going to wait for it to dry a little more before I finish it off. It's 9x12.
