A redhead and her best friend

When I saw the photo, I couldn't resist trying to paint this little redhead and her cat buddy. And although I don't think I quite did them justice, I'm glad I tried it, for the variety of challenges it presented. I'm pretty happy with the faces, less happy with the cat body, which admittedly disintegrated into an amorphous blob in the reference photo, not giving me much help. But the warm colors of the child contrasted with the cooler colors of the cat were fun to do, and I hope the subject of the photo doesn't mind my borrowing it.

This is pencil and watercolor on Fluid 140-lb. coldpress paper,

12x12 inches, and it's called "JSBnKitteh."
