A Shoulder To Purr On

Description

I wanted to capture the deep lines and concerns on the face of a long life, with the warmth and friendship of a purring, trusting chum on her shoulder.

For those interested in technical aspects, I wanted to keep the black of the board as the ‘black’ colour, so I painted all of the ochre of her face, the white of the cat etc leaving the black of the board to supply the third colour. Nowhere did I use black paint.
