"Black Cat in Golden Sunset" ACEO:

Item 180032128919

A black cat steps lightly on a branch of red autumn leaves, glowing in the setting sun. Some of the leaves are dancing in the sunset sky, which is in tones of yellow, gold and amber. This feng shui mandala, part of the Golden Glow modern art series (botanical abstract landscapes in a contemporary Asian style), is an original acrylic painting by Laura Milnor Iverson, a professional California artist (San Francisco Bay area). It is an ACEO (Art Trading Card), highly collectible, and measures 2.5" x 3.5".

I started the Golden Glow series in 2004. I've painted other kinds of cats in them but this is the first black cat I've added to this palette.

This is what I worked on today...I took one of my larger oil paintings and, using PhotoShop, redid it as a ghost ACEO (mini) print:

It took me a couple hours (I've been using PS for years but I'm a novice at the fancy features). I cropped the painting, cut out the figure, moved her over & made her semi-transparent (and a little larger).
