Shelter Cats.

Since the adoption of Sterling, I've had two other cats as favorites.  One, Cassidy, was completely black, 2 years old and the sweetest nature.  Oh, I could have taken her home, given half the chance.  She was adopted on Thursday.
Then there is Minnie, a two year old black and white, with a cheeky black and white face and white whiskers -- almost a tuxie I think.  She has quite a personality as well as liking cuddles, tummy rubs and playing with the feather wand. She was still there Thursday, but for how long who knows?  I know I should be glad that they are being adopted but these three have been in the large room, which is like a living room, with a couple of other cats so it's almost like they are mine.
So just for my own pleasure I decided to do a painting of the last shot I took of Sterling.  You may recognize it.

As usual, I can see a few needed improvements.  One thing I have to find is a brush that can make fine strokes for fur or whiskers.

This is the original photo:

He was 'way too handsome!
