The nose on the left is perfect now. I'm amazed you were able to adjust it. And the new portrait is lovely as well--no adjustments needed!



I'm surprised more people don't do pet portraits in pastel rather than oil or acrylic. It seems like pastel is perfectly suited to capturing fur.

knock their socks off quality that I’ve tried to develop in my art. Give them what they expect then add that one extra thing that’ll knock their socks off!

You got it! IT!

There is a distinct personality in each of your cat portraits that stands out clearly and forcefully. Not an easy feat! Your work is inspirational. You could start a whole career painting people’s pets. I love your work! 💕 💗 ❤️ 💕!

I always take screenshots of your nice words and I keep them in a folder and I read them again whenever I feel discouraged and want to give up. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My greatest desire is to encourage artists to continue developing by giving positive critiques. Your words make me feel very good about that. Artists want feedback because they want to be recognized in what they do. I try to do that.

Thanks so much. I will continue!
