I have always been fascinated with cats of any kind, be they wild or domesticated,
I have painted a great variety of them in various sizes and mediums.
This painting is my first cat worked with colored pencils.
My goal was to portray the majesty and beauty of this animal in repose, as well as the fact that this is not a pussycat - but a lethal predator!
