This cat’s eyes drew me in. I had to at least make an attempt.

Oils on 11×14 stretched canvas. It took two days. It actually took me a few hours just to get set up before I could even start painting. LOL! I try to save my paints from one painting to the next, but there comes a time when you must scrape the palette and start from scratch.
By the way, I don’t always agree with the quotes that I use. In this case, there are much more than two means of refuge from the miseries of life. But, I do agree with John Singer Sargent when he said, “A portrait is a painting with something wrong with the mouth.”

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. — Albert Schweitzer
