Portrait of a Cat
My latest tile commision was for a portrait of Frida, a Maine Coon Cat. I was given photos showing her as either brown or grey but I was assured she is really grey. I did one drawing on the tile that I really didn't like, so started another. Then decided to paint them both. I was much less constrained painting the tile I had decided was not the final product. That should be a lesson as the client picked the tile (which I showed them before firing) I had decided was merely the backup. I probably felt I could take chances I couldn't with the "real" tile.
