Hi there, I painted this little gal on a 11 X 14 Raymar panel in oil. I have started a new painting of her making lots of changes. I think this came out well, soft edges and a pretty good likeness. However I think I need more darks in the painting, my tendency is to paint portraits without enough darks. I seem to do better with landscapes but struggle with people. I have only been painting portraits about six months or so and probably would have been thrilled to paint this a few months back but now I want more. I guess that is the way it should be, we should always be growing as artists. So back to the easel and I'll keep you posted. :)

I agree, Barb...love those soft lines...so fitting for the subject.
I also agree that darks (and possibly a few lights) might give it more zip.
But then, you don't have to do another thing to it...it's a winner.
I like this cat, Barbara. Nice painting!
Hi Dean, Thank you for your kind words, I am going to leave this one alone but start a new one and try again.
Thank you Bill, Maybe I should give up people and landscapes and paint animals. Nah, lol
