"PHEBE" 33/100 OF 100 PET PORTRAITS IN 100 DAYS © SAUNDRA LANE GALLOWAY

 "Phebe"

6"x6" oil on panel

SOLD to her pet mom!

Phebe was an interesting challenge for me.  Her pose had her body; which was similar value to the rest; covering just about the whole frame.  I LOVE the way she is looking up, so felt I had to use this pose...AND her cat mom Cathie Lang also liked this pose.  So, thinking as fauvist as I possibly could I just got out those wonderful oranges and pinks and went to town!  The darks were blues and purples I laid in on top of the strong colors. She has turned out to be one of my favorites...although, to be honest folks...they are all a favorite when I'm working on them! HA.

Here is Phebe in all her feline glory in the three frame suggestion colors I have.  I'd love to throw them in too, but they are a bit much...so you can find them at pictureframes.com in their floater frame section.  The ones I've bought are $26.40 each...I'm not fond of shipping...which is almost $17 each...but I'm working on them looking at that situation and helping folks by lowering their shipping costs...STILL...to get a framed piece for less than $40 is a good deal.  Here is the link to the post where I talk about how to easily frame them if you have no mad wood working skills! scroll to the bottom.
