It's time for Paint Party Friday. I did a cat portrait in memory of my sister's cat who was put down in April at 18 years old. The piece is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/") in pencil.
It was very sad. He stopped eating and was barely drinking in the last 3 days of his life. He liked to hunt. My sister said memories of cat poop, rats, vomit helped her deal with her grief. Of course her whole family was grieving. In fact she had asked me not to share this immediately.
I have since coloured the portrait in:
