I thought it was time to give equal time to kitties, so I had to try to do this green-eyed beauty. Sometime you just come across a photo that immediately mesmerizes you. That happened with this one. I could not do that beautiful animal justice, but I like the result anyway. I had the hardest time with it, though. I started on velour paper with pastel pencils. I was thinking that I would do the entire thing with the pencils. Nope. I kept fighting the paper, so I resorted to soft pastels and the color popped! Fun, fun, fun!
