Red Glasses

I've become enamored at the idea of doing a series of "eyes", specifically my daughter's.  This is from a photo taken during a camping trip. Yes, her cat does come camping with us.  This cat, Rozie, is practically another limb! :)

My intention was to try to paint this very loose in imitation of artist Stephie Butler's style.  Obviously, the finished painting didn't quite stay "loose" but I wanted to complete it anyway because, well, practice makes for a better artist.
