Thoughtful

This is an ORIGINAL and very detailed pastel portrait of a gorgeous tabby cat. The artwork is created on the Ampersand Pastebord - Museum series, which is archival solid support for pastels.
Board size : 5"x7" (13x18cm apprx).
The painting is not fixed or vanished because it would destroy soft hair effect and would alter the colours. So it should be handled carefully and will need to be matted and framed behind glass. The artwork will be covered with glassine paper to avoid smudging and carefully packed to protect it during shipping and storage.
Thank you for your interest.
