The sheen on top of her head gives her (I'm assuming she's a SHE since she's Calico)a wonderful soft look of good health.

The snow leopard is lovely, but I understand how you feel about not wanting to submit something that didn't turn out as you wanted it to.<br /> <br />The cats eyes are incredible as always.

Your work is so beautiful and I have seen very few works done in acrylics with such fine detail, most are done with watercolours.
