Cat in Sunlight

I've been told I work too fast, especially in pastels. But I think about a piece for quite a while before I launch into it...wonder if that counts...this is a memorial to a little cat who was dearly loved by her owners. I wanted so much to get the feeling of the warm sun coming down on her in her window perch.

Wonderfully executed. Nice loose application..

You captured that sunlight exactly. I especially like how the light touches the top of his head, and glows through his ear. It feels very real and immediate.

You must have accomplished your goal because, when I first looked at this (before I read the blurb) I thought, "Mmm, nice warm sun".

Nice pastel, great feeling that the cat is about to move, feeling of life there.
