Painting Challenge

| Original photo challenge |
Each
month I take the challenge given on the website
paintandrawtogether.com
This
month it was a study of a brightly covered chair with patterned
cushion close to a very detailed carpet.

| My Painting. |
I
chose to do my painting in water color but I think acrylic paint
would have been better to get the more intense color this painting
needed.
It was
a difficult study as just getting the pattern correct let alone the
right colors was difficult. I also found the composition somewhat
peculiar. Your eye is drawn to the highly colored carpet in the
foreground rather that to the chair, the focal point. So I took the
carpet out and put a cat on the chair instead. In my house there is
always a cat on the chair so it just had to be.
