le chat noir

When I was in Madrid, Spain, I saw this painting through a boutique window [link] The shop was closed for siesta, so this shot was the best reference of it I could get. I have no idea who the artist is.

This little Photoshop sketch is my version of that inspirational painting. It's a feeble attempt at creating something less traditional looking, which has become a new artistic goal of mine. I will also paint a watercolor version of it in the attempt to meet my "do more painting this year" goals.

I'm hoping this is a step in the right direction toward finding my own style of non-traditional art.
