Elmer who doesn't look like himself.

I wanted to paint a cat again and found this photo of Martin's Dutch Elmer. Easy right? Challenging browns and tans and golden greens. Well, he didn't quite look like himself and looked evil and not sweet. I'll try again.

I think I fuss to much and should try using the timer and doing a 20 min painting and the bigger brush (as I've been told!).

His face is too wide, his nose is too short and his eyes are too big. Version 2 will be better. I will also fuss less, use a bigger brush, and set a timer on myself. It's not obvious that he is looking up; he seems to be looking more straight on than up. Not critical talk to myself but more of what to fix next time talk to myself (reminders).
