Wow. Cats are my favorite animals, and I've got to say you did a great job on this one (and the others in your gallery!). Did you take classes? I can't ever seem to get the anatomy quite right when I draw/paint them.

thankyou very much for the wow.  I am basically self taught and have been painting for over 30 years (lots of practice).  Just keep drawing and you will improve.

Great work, that brought back a memory of a cat in Mexico I encountered just sitting near by as I was eating outside. Lots of Wandering Dogs & Cats there.

pastel is my favorite medium..it seems to give a deeper, softer look. *I can't work in them currently because I'm not sure how to ship them to customers..

AstridBruning In reply to cxcow [2013-02-17 02:21:55 +0000 UTC]

I love pastels for depicting animal fur textures. (and it is a lot quicker than oils). There is a special paper "sounds" like glycene that you can put on top of the work that doesnt disturb the pastels, if you wedged the drawing/painting with this between 2 boards it should ship okay. ...

Sir-Catherine [2012-11-19 00:46:52 +0000 UTC]

The warmth of your colors contrast with the lonely isolation of the cat in the corner. It's beautiful, and yet it's a cracked and peeling alley or some such place. What a lovely, well executed painting and at the same time very real feeling and very 'solid'. I can't help paring it with your Cat Fan piece, [link] , a kind of warm and cool set.
