    June.

    Oh God of homeless things, look down
    And try to ease the way
    Of all the little weary paws
    That walk the world
    today.

    Nice one, June! Adorable, homey look. The pillow looks like it's royalty or the color of velvet or satin that crown jewels are often displayed on.

    I think, to my eye the cat looks very well painted. I particularly LOVE the translucence in the ears. Good shapes, nice fur and structure and all.

    The pillow on the other hand looks like it was done with airbrush which is a different approach. The cat itself is a prize winner. So for me it would be worth it to take the time with the whole.

    Just my thoughts. You have a real knack with animals that shows well here with this one.

    Thanks all.

    Mr Ploos - I love my bed too - especially on the couple of days a week I have the luxury of a sleep in. Pity my cats don't respect that and have their special ways of waking me. Maxie, in particular, is most effective - pat on my face with claws just slightly evident!

    Rondo - your work has taken to a new level - I'm enjoying it.

    DA - Do you mean the cushion should be more realistic, more detail? Actually, I used mostly airbrush on the cat too.

    Pat - But you are so good with colour - I wish I could blend them loosely as you do.
