wonderful illustration of such an adorable looking cat...the eyes are stunning and the nose is cute like a button...the face blends into the body a little bit though...love the ears pointing upward...stellar composition...well done and thanks for sharing...

PS: your works are amazing and I can only imagine being as good as you

    Thank you so much for your lovely review. I'm glad you like my work. How is your book going? Have you requested a review by the Diamond Seal Committee yet? Let me know how you get on. Suzanne
reply by Reganato on 15-Mar-2014
    Suzanne, my caliber of work is not diamond seal worthy...but I might use it as another form of feedback so that constructive criticism can be put to good use...no??? what are your thoughts on using this medium for getting better??? I am no artist, just enjoying painting to decompress from the stresses of nonstop surgery 6 days a week...

    I like using the soft pastels - it's fun to get really mucky when you blend in with your fingers, which I do! You can of course use the compressed paper blenders too but I find fingers are best. I'm not so keen on doing landscapes with pastels, I find they're best for portraits of people or animals. If you haven't tried them give them a go. It also doesn't take very long to complete a pastel painting. Suzanne

Nice art..Like the fur and the eyes..Could have done more better by avoiding some roughness here and there particularly the red color near the leg..

What a beautiful kitten. We once had a Himalayan which look quite similar to Ragdolls.

Love the fluffy brushstrokes and the playfulness you depicted in this painting.

thanks so much for sharing this wonderful little kitten.

You have used such great skill in conveying a soft and warm feel for Casper. His eyes feel as though you can hear them speak to you.

What an extremely lifelike drawing!
It's eyes just exude intelligence and mischief, backed up by the paw over the edge of the basket.
Very good.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a lovely pastel drawing of your son's Ragdoll kitten, Suzanne. You've captured a nice expression and good colours and reflections in the expressive eyes. Good proportion and nice composition. Taylor
