I was attracted to her gorgeous attitude. I painted her again. 

Maine Coon, Pastel on sanded paper, 12"x9"

When I saw the original photo of this furry feline, intelligence was my first thought.
She seems to be giving complete attention as though in mid conversation with her companion.
The pastels on sandpaper did wonders in depicting the swept back texture of the hair on her face.
Notice the concentration in her eyes and the "coolness" of her grin.

Tabby in blue blanket, Pastel on sanded paper, 9"x12"
This green eyed little cutie couldn't be coaxed off her new favorite napping place even when a butterfly teased her, fluttering nearby. Imagine her thinking, that silly insect, this new blue blanket is too comfy for me to go play.
