I have had a cat garden statue for a few years. It started out orange with orange stripes and has slowly faded in the elements. But the eyes have always been… creepy. For some reason I couldn't take it anymore and something had to be done. (Probably the thought of housework and it was convenient for procrastinating.)

I used acrylics and covered up the black. As I waited for layers to dry, I added a little white to the nose, and touched up colors in the collar. The eventual plan is to convert it to a calico, but for now, at least it is looking instead of blankly staring.
