I am making some progress with the cat close up. The texture of the fur is coming nicely but there is still quite a ways to go. Time or rather the lack of time is all that is holding me back. I find this to be an enjoyable work. I will be gracing the wall of our Cat Room in the boarding kennel with this fellow and 5 others I have completed previously. Anyway it will be a few weeks before that wall is built so I can take my time and enjoy the process.
