THE CATS

So my boyfriend has two cats, a tabby cat and a black cat. He has wanted me to paint him something for awhile now and this is what he wanted. More specifically he wants a triptych of his two cats wrapping their tails around a wine bottle. The wine bottle is to bring the "bachelor" element into the piece, ya know so his place doesn't look completely gay with two huge portraits of his own cats on the wall. I am not a huge cat fan, nor am I a big fan of painting realistically because it is hard, often boring, and gets me frustrated BUT out of love I am trying. I do think it will be rather comical when all is said and done.

Here is the progress so far, got a ways to go, a test in patience...
