Self Portrait With Cat

Spent the morning calling voters for my party of choice... and the afternoon painting in my studio. I'm working on my "Picasso Challenge" oil painting. It's not supposed to look like Picasso did it but is supposed to have something symbolic in it and to invoke feeling. Mine is a self portrait with Duma on my shoulder. He is the symbol for warmth and love. I am either finished or almost finished. Not quite sure yet. You may recognize the photo that I used for reference. The painting is 30 by 24 inches in size. I'm having fun painting it.

Here is the blip photo I used as reference.

I recommend looking at the large image for the best view of this blip.
