My first pet portrait. Memorial for my friend’s cat.
Marley was gloriously rotund and lived 17 years. I miss cat-sitting him. I think I’m happy enough with the painting. It’s my third attempt. I wanted it to look like he was smelling the daffodils. Is the background ok? I tried a flat blue wash and it looked really plain and like the cat/flowers were cut outs pasted on. White background was too plain. Blue makes yellows/orange pop but I’m worried it looks like a messed up sky and not just a background.
