New Kitty Oil Painting

I completed this painting last week. I'm posting this week because it took that long to dry lol. I was torn between making it realistic or going with a more expressionistic approach. I think I found a happy medium. I didn't see the purpose of recreating a photograph. My scanner does not do oil paintings justice I'm afraid so there are some areas that seem kind of whitened out and such and not as vibrant as the original. I am going to invest in a better camera than my camera phone one of these days since I intend to do more oil paintings. I haven't named this piece as of yet. It measures 5" x 7" on canvas board.
