This is not quite finished. There are subtle changes to the background I made since taking the picture. And I did'nt like the hard edge of the cat's back. Of course all this came to light-as it always does- after varnishing. Give the new improved version a few hours drying time. I'll shoot another picture and post it shortly. Stay tuned. 
Christmas commission in progress.
Here is Maddy as she emerges from the page. She is a Christmas present for my client's husband who adores his kitty. Final dimensions will be 9"x12". Base price for 8"x10" commissions is $420.00. This price will increase to $450.00 in January. Pricing depends on size and number of subjects. Though unable to take on any more commissions due before Christmas, I will happily sell a gift certificate. If you purchase now you will be locked into current pricing.
