Shadow

Getting depth in a pet portrait of a cat that is all black was a challenge. I needed to introduce brown and grey in order for this thread painting not to be completely flat.

Shadow was my grandson’s cat and when he had his bad football injury and was laid up while I cared for him and home schooled him, Shadow was never far from his side. he would curl up on the black throw and nearly scare me to death when I went to move the throw, not knowing he was there. He would shoot up in the air and run up the back of the couch. He was a very lovely cat and worthy to be immortalised in this thread painting.
