Sammy in the upholstery studio…
He even has his own chair, the Moon and Stars chair.
Black cats are not easy to paint. Black on black on black…

I should try to paint my little Teemu–with this as a huge guide! Sammy is adorable, Kate.

Thanks Lois — tabbies are easier, more to distinguish legs, face, body!

Sammy is precious and you did an AMAZING job painting black on black. Oh and his chair is so cute. My dog has adopted one of my leather chairs in my front room and makes it known that it is his chair.
Thank you for sharing the colors you used also. I have been in love with Paynes Grey and substituting it for black whenever I can.
Big hugs and thank you for the wonderful comment you left on my post. Have a great week!
