Cat or no cat?

Joan, I didn't want to force you into a decision about whether or not to include the cat, but if you are considering it I will admit I like this scheme better. (As Linda said, it's all a matter of taste, or money, too, in the case of commissioned portraits.) I think If you could get that other hand in at the bottom right, you are on to something. I like the lean of her body in the first photos, but the position of the cat in the first photo has an odd anatomical illusion of having two left front paws, so I would take more photos of the cat to get a better "read" of his/her body. Anyway, in general these are great reference photos and I think something good is underway with this portrait!

Alex
