I never got around to posting the final peach and final cat. Here are photos of the finished paintings:
This looks better in the original–the photo shows all the little flaws which don’t show up on the painting itself. It could be much better, but wow! “Who knew painting a peach was so hard!”
Thanks to comments from friendly critiquers, I changed kitty’s face and size. I also changed the title to Afternoon Nap.
