Gray Kitten: Formally known as the Blue Kitten, Part 1

I have been painting off and on the past week. The funny thing is that I have been using painting as an escape mechanism, ha! Maybe cousin being here is a super good thing (shaking head no).

Here is the restart of the Blue Kitten and then what it looks like as of today:

Obviously far from being done. I think that I am going to keep the kitten the mid-tone gray and then put a darker gray as the background to help make it pop. I am hoping that as the flowers become more and more detailed that this will also help the kitten pop. I really want to get this done by the 24th, let it dry, and then ship it out by the first week of Dec. I hope it turns out okay.
