Eartha Kitt was an American singer and actress. Born to a mother who was a sharecropper in the cotton fields of South Carolina she sang and danced her way out of poverty. She is best known for her role as Catwoman on the Batman TV series and her classic Christmas hit Santa Baby.

Sneak peek at a new portrait. This will be painted in acrylic on a smooth gessoed wood panel. Acrylic is still a relatively new medium for me and it feels like turning my brain inside out.
