"Grayed Tabby"

I toned my canvas with transparent red oxide and alizarin crimson.  I began a long haired cat but I didn't care for my first painting. So I scraped it.  It muddied the reds on the canvas. Then I painted a gray tabby over it using my left over colors on my palette.
It is harmonious and I like it.  I focused on developing the planes of the cat's face which I think that is a direction I want to keep going with the cats.
Here is my daily cat painting.
