It's after Midnight here. I've been working on this piece since 10 am this morning and I'm exhausted. (For those of you who don't think art can be hard work, I beg to differ. Wonderful work, but just as tiring as any other job!)

I've just begun to color in the fur. I had to stop because as a tabby she'll have a lot of blacks that I don't want ot do yet, and because I wanted to make sure the brown of the rocks was going to be different enough from the brown undertones in her fur. So her fur has a L-O-N-G way to go.

I'm in the process of doing rocks now. I'll probably be doing rocks most of tomorrow. If I'm lucky, I might make it to plants. As with the fur, the darkest dark aren't in place yet. I'm still working my way around the piece.

I'm going to bed folks. More updates later!
