New Work - Tigers!

I recently visited a big cat sanctuary in Bridgeport, TX, the Center for Animal Research and Education, or C.A.R.E.  and got to see lots of tigers, lions, and, mountain lions!   I decided to try to help out a bit (the only way I can) by painting and selling art featuring thier cats and donating half the proceeds to them.  Here are the first two.  Both are 5x7 oil paintings and are currently listed at auction or 'buy it now' on ebay at www.KerryOriginals.com. 

"Dreamy"

"Intense"

...and, the latest...

"Hungry Tiger" 4x6

New Work - Knight's Advantage

This one has been in the works for a long time!  Originally, it was done intended to be part of a mural project, which is why the original was painted as it was.  A year or two later, I decided the painting had enough going for it to try and turn it into a better painting...which meant it would have to be completely repainted.  The original composition was very cramped with all the figures touching or running off the edges of the panel, a fault that could not be fixed without starting all over from scratch with a larger board...but, I didn't want to start all over with it...just wanted to make it better with what I had.  My solution, was to glue a linen liner to the panel that would add 2" all around, and, then paint the liner as if it was part of the original painting, thus adding a little more breathing space around the composition.  See how it was done in this work-in-progress thread from Wet Canvas.
