Lovely pastel painting. A very nice cat and I like the way you've painted the curtains. Is she your cat? I love cats and own two. Happy New Year. Regards Lorraine

Lorraine, this cat lived until she was 23yrs old. She died 3 years ago - she was a "little madam" and definitely the boss of all the pets we had. Like all our pets she was one of the family. At the moment we don't have any but I'm working on it!

Hi Marjorie, what a lovely painting.To show the light on the fur did you use (just) you a lighter shade of the same colour . Thank you very much for your tips on pastels. Just looking at this picture carefully is going to teach me a lot I'm sure. I'm going to look at the rest of your potfolio now. Best wishes Judith

Super cat just looking for something to pounce on possibly, love the detail in that material patterning as well Marjorie, did you see my pastel portrait of Nelson Mandela, get into my pastel work gallery and you will see him, I don't do many people portraits, they are usually pet ones, but people are telling me hat this is the best pastel work I have ever done, so take a look I would value your opinion on it
