This is a pastel I did for some friends of their elderly cat, Max, who was 17 years old. He died a few months later and we were all very sad. Max was a very nice cat. He is missed.
You captured this cat very well, there is a softness and sweetness to it. He also looks very cuddly. A great piece that will now keep his spirit alive.
