This is a real 'eye-catcher', Val. Well done.

Amazing eyes which completely grab your attention. A great close up portrait - I should do more cats as you are obviously in tune with them!

A beauty of a picture Val, I really love that fur and of course the eyes!

Thank you ladies for your generous comments X

Great composition, super eyes and tactile fur - your dog should be very worried!!

You're very brave, Val. Like you, I am a dog person and have yet to work up the courage to paint a cat! It's superbly done, you could fool me into believing you're hiding a cat somewhere in your home!

Thank you Seok, Satu and Karyl, glad you like it. Seok, if I was hiding a cat somewhere in my home Skye would have taken umbrage, packed her bags and left LOL

I love the way you have softened the fur, feels as though I could stretch into the picture and stroke her.

Oh those eyes! A real treat, I LOVE the colours. The fur is very real... Beautiful work Val!

Soft pastel on Colourfix. Being a doggy person I'm quite surprised at how much I enjoyed painting this and my previous cat. Don't think my dog would approve if I got one though lol. C & C welcome. Photo ref LPA Hollongsworth.

I am a self taught artist or, as I like to say, I'm "unrestricted by formal teaching" which probably explains my mish mash of styles. I paint in most media, watercolour, gouache, oil, coloured pencil and my favourite, soft pastels. I'm inspired by the Scottish landscape, nature and animals and…
