Final step of the healing, now let time do its thing..
It still hurts so badly though...

I love you Prince.
Rest in peace baby.
:heart:

In my gut I felt like I needed to do this. For myself and him.
I'm going frame shopping tomorrow, before I leave for the week, and its being hung where I'll be able to see it, every morning when I wake up.
This still needs a tiny bit of work though, mostly with the background.

I can't even begin to explain how much better it looks in life though. I'm really starting to despise both my scanner and camera.

I chose to use my pastels and velour paper for this personal piece because of the softer quality of the art, dreamy almost.

And finally, this means so, so much to me, comments are extremely appreciated but critiques will not be dealt with kindly.

Wow, for a second I thought this was a photograph.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss and I, to, am grieving because I lost my little baby 3 days ago. I'm still coping with the fact that she isn't with me anymore but it's difficult. I was thinking about painting her just like you did of Prince.
Prince seemed like a gorgeous and loving cat and you did very well capturing his beauty in this artwork. :heart:

Touching. Truly. I know how you feel, I lost a beloved cat a few months ago.

I love the effect you've created. It's like a dreamy window into the paper, into heaven. You've done a very good job. :)

Here's to Prince and Mittens (my cat). :heart: May they rest in peace.

May they both rest in peace. :heart:

I was aiming for the dreamy look, and I'm glad you think that I achieved it. :)

Whoah. We're in the same shoes - I just drew a "portrait" of my cat that died 1st december 2005. Never managed to move on, so I had to draw him - almost 5 years later. And funny thing is; we have the same title - and the same motive...

I know how you are feeling.

Great painting by the way, he was a really cute cat!
