Animal painting workshop

I thought the cat needed to be brightened up a bit. Hope I didn't spoil it. What do you think?
I will also be teaching a workshop on "Animal Painting and Drawing" to be held at the 3rd Floor, Belleville Public Library, Pinnacle Street, Belleville on May 10th. It will run from 9.30 -3.30 p.m and will be suitable for beginner and intermediate level artists. I am hoping to have a nice, quiet dog volunteer to "sit" for his portrait, but if you prefer, you can paint your own choice of animal from a photoPlease e-mail me for details. It is open to anyone. Costs $35 if you are a Belleville Art Association member or $50 if you are not.
