I have not had a lot of time to work on this painting, and the photo of it isn't great either so I apologize for the bad quality.  I added a lot of darks in the areas I thought it needed it, and then the next time I have a chance to work on it I'm going to add some smaller details, lighten areas of fur, and soften it a bit. 

A bit unfinished, but it got too dark out to continue painting

Above is a small painting in progress I'm trying to paint of Mieka, who passed away a year ago today.  Below is a sketch I did of her right after she got sick a few years ago.  I miss her terribly.
