Cat Portrait of Max

Welcome to my Cat Portrait of Max. Rebecca got in touch after loosing her much loved cat called Max. Max was a siamese cat and the photos Rebecca sent me were stunning. Rebecca ideally wanted a pencil drawing of Max, however she loved his blue eyes. So I suggested that I shade those in blue where as the rest of the portrait cool be in pencil. Rebecca was thrilled with the idea. I have used this before, including the lovely pencil drawing of the three huskies which you can see here – Husky Pencil drawing. 

Rebecca also had one of Max’s whiskers and also his ashes. She wanted me to somehow include them in the portrait. The initial ideas was to write his name in the ashes and have the whisker underneath, however it wasn’t really visible. So I gently glued his whisker on the portrait as an actual whisker. The ashes were then mixed with PVA glue and used to write his name which was surrounded by the mount.

The drawing is a 12 x 10 portrait with a fully shaded background to allow Max to stand off of the paper. This commission has to be one of the most interesting I have created to date. I am always happy and willing to work with my clients and their ideas. Its always very exciting.
