So happy she’s OK and safe with you. A beautiful kitty and a BREATHTAKING work- you ROCK xxxx

Nice work on the eyes!

This is a super portrait, just look at the reflection and colour in those eyes…..bravo…..good to know that Kitiana is safe and sound.

Truly outstanding pastel work Holley. Detail is great. You have a very special talent. The eyes are perfectly done.

Holley, firstly i am so so happy for Kitana that she made it through with your tender loving care.
Your portrait of her is exquisite – such detail is astounding!!!
I am always in awe of your abilities with pencil and pastel.
Take care of each other.
I call my kitty’s ‘prisoners of love’!

Fantastic detail, I really love the eyes! Actually I just love everything about it! Brilliant =)

Wow, thank you so much everyone for commenting on my work. Kitana is doing just fine now thankfully. I adore her and I was devasted the day I found her and thought that perhaps she would have to be put to sleep. I am so glad it didn’t come to that. I am sure there will be many more paintings of her, along with her sister Shae to come :)

This is incredible!

Thank you so much everyone, I appreciate all your comments.
Thanks Alice for featuring me, that’s fantastic!!!

congrats placing in the top ten in Cats and Dogs challenge “CATS ONLY – Close-ups”!!!
wonderful shot!!!!

This is a beautiful work on this cat. I have a cat that almost looks identical. My cat came from the humane society. She was 8 months old when we got her. She too, left home and the humane society picked her up. She also stays right by our side..never far away. She now has a good home.

I love the detail in the eyes!
Great work!

This is a beautiful work of your lovely Kitana. I am so glad to hear she escaped the jaws of that wretched dog and that you once again have her safely home again. My cans are indoor only cats and that way I am assured that they will always be safe. I do hope that she will stay safely close to home. Your work is just utstanding!

This absolutely wonderful. Outstanding job

Amazing artwork

What a great capture. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Outstanding portrait!! Love the little black spot on her nose….I’m glad you have her back!

OUTSTANDING PIECE! I love the look of the cat and I am so glad she is better. How horrible for her. How scared she must have been out there hurt and by herself. Poor baby.
I have to say, this is one of the best art portraits I have ever seen. This is outstanding.
