Mugshot of "The Lodger"

Super charcoal drawing, love the details you have captured in this Marjorie

Just in passing, I wonder why we're guilty about "cheating", when we mix our media without having necessarily intended to at the outset? I have just the same feeling, but blowed if I understand why: it's the result that matters. Anyway, after that philosophical aside - magnificent tomcat, fully aware of his place in society, and beautifully rendered.

A handsome devil....nicely done Marjorie!

Super drawing of a beautiful model. Well done Marjorie.

Agree with Robert on the cheating subject. I used to feel guilty about such things but not any more. It's the end result that counts. Anyway,great portrait of a lovely cat. Well done.

Absolutely beautiful, Who cares if you cheat, only the purists

He is a handsome chappy and you have done him proud :)

Great painting ! Lovely intelligent expression you've caught

Thank you everyone for such positive comments. I don't often paint animals but I enjoyed doing this so much I intend to do more. Thanks again!

Ha ha, he looks a great character , beautiful drawing.

Agree with all the above, beautifully done. Just love the eyes, they positively glisten!

This is beautiful....especially the kind eyes.

Hi Marjorie, don't know how I have missed your gallery, fabulous work, but just love this one. My medium was watercolour, but have recently gone across to coloured pencils, but looking at you charcoal work, I may have to expand further. I used to think on the purist view point but my attitudes have changed, this is confirmed in the way you have used the pastel, it's the result that counts.
