Strange Familiar




This one's called Strange Familiar or The View Out My Window. I wanted to do a painting so I looked out my window. Most witches end up with a black cat for a familiar this unlucky witch ended up with a flamingo, however they both seem fairly happy about this arrangement. I did this painting to contrast with the Peggy's Cove painting. While Peggy's Cove was all planned out and I knew more or less how it would look Strange Familiar came from a looser sketch, with much information left out and much was invented while I did the painting. I'd love to know everyone's opinion on these two approaches.
