Trixie on the back of the couch. 5x7 watercolor

I'm struggling with younger green kid moving to the Netherlands, so I'm sending him with pics of the cats. Next up, I need to somehow capture a long haired tuxedo! Then I have to paint them both all over again for elder green kid before he moves out this winter.

That has catitude written all over it. I like it very much. You caught the feline attitude really well. You did a good job with the marmalade markings as well as all features of the head. The alert ears and eyes as well as the comfortable ease that cats have when they feel safe and happy in their favorite spot. I also like the front arm and paw extending towards the viewer which is a sure sign of happy relaxation. It’s almost as if the cat is reaching out to touch you softly.

It’s a good portrait!
