Tabby Cat Pastel Painting

'The Morning Bath' 8x10 pastel

"I put down my book, The Meaning of Zen, and see the cat smiling into her fur as she delicately combs it with her rough pink tongue. Cat, I would lend you this book to study but it appears you have already read it. She looks up and gives me her full gaze. Don't be ridiculous, she purrs, I wrote it. - from "Miao" by Dilys Laing

Here is the finished painting of Jennie. She is sitting here next to me in the midst of another morning bath. She approves of her painting! To see the work in progress photo of this painting visit my other blog http://karenspetportraits.blogspot.com
