As far as portraiture goes, I make no distinction between human and animal faces. As long as there is something about the face that I find interesting, be it a special feature or an interesting pattern of wrinkles, I am game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most commissions for pets are not in a large format. So this time I wanted to just be free with my brush and create a large tabby-cat face with prominent eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It represents no particular feline but it certainly has the character that is often so typical for cats of the tabby persuasion. Therefore, after finishing it, I discussed it with Mitsy, our elusive rescue cat from the wild. And lo and behold, she gave it the thumbs up!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
