I’ve been working on this for about a week and may have finished.  On the other hand I might abandon the background/ shadow as I can’t seem to apply the colour close to the fur.  What’s fink, Peeps?

It’s great Linda, I’d just leave the background but make more use of the shadows! As in… a strong but flat wash, it will anchor him to the ground a bit more…

It’s beautifully done Linda for goodness sake don’t be tempted to fiddle with it , those eyes are superb and full of life .  I think Alan is right  work in the shadow to anchor the kitten to the ground .

I'm for the "leave alone" camp. Lovely work.

Thank you all for your lovely comments.  I think you are all right not to fiddle with the kitten, but more shadow would not go amiss.  Difficult on a white sheet, but I don’t really want to do a wash as it might get in the grooves of the indented whiskers.
