Winslow in the linen closet

Colored pencil on pink matboard, 11"x14"

I was half tempted to throw this picture out the window after the eigth time I erased the face. I knew there was a reason I put off drawing Winslow (other than the fact that every photo I take of him looks like a big yellow puffball with eyes). At least in this picture, you can kind of see that he has legs, of a sort.

I never understood why people would pay hundreds of dollars on an animal when there were so many homeless creatures at the pound that were free (well, free to loving homes, except when I brought my dog home, the vets bills came to over $300). Winslow was a free pet, taken in after he'd spent a week outside wandering homeless. As far as I know, he's a Persian, and now that I own one, I can understand why people would pay so much for a cat. He's a doll baby.
