Pushing through old ideas and reaching for new ones

I've used multiple, overlapping images before but hadn't tried it with cats yet so I started there.

The sunflower idea had been done on wooden horses, pencil and watercolor cats so I thought it would be fun to try in acrylics on a canvas panel to see how it looks that way.

As always when I'm putting things on a dark background I think a bit of outlining helps. Here are before, in progress and after photos so that you can decide whether you agree with me or not.
