getting bigger






This is a 30x30 work. Not very huge but will take more than a few hours to complete. Even more than a few days most likely. I haven't worked this large in a long time.
The subject is my oldest daughter Chloë. So far I like that the cat Whiskers is an element and there is a book since Chloë loves both. I also like the angles of her chin, the book, and her legs. I also like that the cat's tail forms a sort of question mark. Cats are sensual creatures and my daughter is at the threshold of becoming a woman and all that that entails. (No pun intended.) Who is this person I loved as a babe becoming?
I have high hopes for this piece.
