Shirley Bond - "Cat on Chair"
Artist Shirley Bond
Medium Watercolor on watercolor paper 7" X 9"
A
difficult study. All the patterns were very difficult to do even though
I first did a small beginning sketch to try to figure the pattern out.
I loved the colors of the painting I found the bottom carpet to be
to overwhelming to the composition so I exchanged it for a cat on the chair.to try and center the composition.
After all in my house there always seems to be a cat on the chair!!Wednesday, January 15, 2014

Challenge 43 - Antique Rugs
As we begin the first challenge this year 2014, I would like to once again wish all of us a very very Happy New Year!
Each of the beautiful paintings in the last challenge was such a visual delight. For PADT visitors and artists it was as if each day in the holiday season brought a new gift - the unmatched pleasure of seeing a wonderful new painting!
I hope this year brings many new exciting opportunities for all of us to do what we love so much - paint and draw and explore new horizons in art.
Thank You!!
About the composition
I visited a friend of mine, such a gorgeous human being, and very dedicated admirer and antique rugs collector. Needless to say how many still life compositions crossed my mind as soon as I saw this breathtaking display of antique tapestries and rugs. I listened to many wonderful history lessons and stories about people crossing the continents & deserts, with one of the rugs you see here displayed, being old 134 years.
In my personal opinion, this is the most complex challenge I posted so far on PADT. I hope you will collect your artistic courage and give it a chance to surprise you.
--------------------------
Please send your paintings by February 16. The next challenge will be posted on Feb 17, 2014.
