I tried painting a black cat once and found it to be one of the most difficult subjects that I'd ever tackled. Just blackness! You've done a good job with Otto getting both light and colour into that plain black fur. Well done!

Thanks Louise - I did find it quite frustrating trying to achieve the 'blackness' !

This is one alert kitty, love the expression, a great result with pastels. ~Anni

Hi Mike, Thank you for your comments. Just been looking at all your images in your gallery. They are all wonderful. Otto looks like he is just about to dart off and be very mischevious. I love cats and have 5 of them as family pets so I can relate to this fabulous picture. Brilliant.
