I revisited this rattie moon piece to add in a starry night sky background. I always felt the 2020 original with its plain background was missing something. Recently I've began experimenting with dark backgrounds and this felt like a great piece to try it on.
It's strange seeing my paintings with a dark background! What do you think?
I used black and white gouache, and as I no longer have the original painting, (the commission included ownership of the physical piece), I had to work with a print out of the scan for the outline, and then later piece it together with the original in Photoshop. I was pretty surprised when somehow, it worked?!
It was so satisfying to redo the whiskers in white to really make them pop!
