That fur pattern was very challenging! Just did the best I could.
This cat appears to be saying," You are getting very sleepy...you are now under my power."
Meanwhile the little sparrow is chirping, "Coffee! Coffee!" at the top of his lungs!

ReplyDeleteI'm scared now Dean! Your kitty scares me! He's a brilliant piece of artwork though! Yep. He is.
ReplyDeleteI do feel drowsy, Dean! LOL! You are funny. His markings would be a challenge. You sure got the gaze down superbly.
ReplyDelete...and I'm particularly fond of today's verse. Needed to hear that one today. Thanks! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat title! Fun challenge. you really caught his expression well.
ReplyDeleteHe's a looker alright, fierce and noble! I think he could stare down anyone of us:)
ReplyDeleteMan, am I impressed! Great job! I have a Tortoiseshell like this and gave up painting her a long time ago because it was so difficult. You did a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, Dean. All of my cats approved too! It was very cool how you arranged that 3_D effect, and it's beautifully painted.

ReplyDeleteSo this is a Tortoiseshell! Thanks, Gwen. The fur pattern is difficult to paint...at least for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patrice. Though unintentional, it was kinda 3-D effect wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Edward...the red B/G was a last minute decision...really glad you like it!
