Cat Painting Tuesday

Christmas tree ornament. I sprayed it with Damar varnish, which refuses to dry due to the ENDLESS SILVER rain LIKE STRINGS OF TINSEL AND FRAUGHT METAPHOR. So it has to live on the porch and not on the tree.

Here’s an art lesson. Damar will spread out damp paint (that’s what I did here with the white). So make sure your detail work is well dry before you spray it with Damar or it will just turn into a puddle. (Six months is the rule but who has six months?) Damar added to wet paint will theoretically make it dry faster, but not in this weather.
