Equal Time (Cat Portrait ) - 9 x 12" Pastel

This portrait of my cat Mooshie was sitting in the unframed pile; today I added some finishing touches and framed it, for another silent auction I am donating to. I hope that participating in these charity events leads to some new commissions.. time will tell!
Also, with this painting, I figured out how to photograph something under glass without getting reflections, which is nice to know when you need a photo of something already framed. All I did was position the light source off to the side at a 45 degree angle--I can't remember where I read that, but I tried it and it worked!

Hey, its' rdl, my good friend and the person who introduced me to Duane Keiser's Painting A Day and to blogging.
I'm way back in your archives because I haven't been to your blog since forever, but I remember your work.
This cat also resembles my Wendell.
