H R H MISSY

Here she is without a background.

Studio light. I put in a very loose w/w wash with the colors I'd used for the shadows of her face and body.

Indirect outdoor light.
8 x9 in.
21 x 23 cm.

I am pleased as I usually am not. [that sounds awkward] The background brings Missy forward just enough.

As always, your comments are very welcome!

  9. This is fantastic Kathryn. I thought I was looking at a photograph. You did a wonderful rendering on those eyes and the fur. Missy is a sweetheart! --and her nose is a nose that cold and wet. Beautiful work.
