Pen-and-colour-pencil drawing.
I heard the cat is happy with the portrait, but I'm in doubt whether Val is - hope he will like it anyway.
In fact, there was an artistical problem to solve: how to draw/paint a white/grey moustache and beard?
I thought this 'mostly white-kept area' would clearly suggest the presence of a beard and moustache, but it might be not as clear as I thought it to be.
So my questions to you, dear colleague mail artists: 1) Do you see a (white) moustache and beard in this drawing? , and if not, 2) How would you draw these in a pen-and-colour-pencil drawing like this?

I'm thinking of giving up having a Siamese cat on my head for the remaining 39 days of Lent, and am undecided whether I should ditch the whale moutsache/beard or not.

Any views??

Ha! No cats in MomKat's house either...

The real MomKat likes to scratch and claw...trees!

In the last few days, 'my person' has acquired:

 a Siamese cat on my person's head

* a whale as a moustache for my person's face

* a Vizma looking over my person's shoulder (at her person's Little Red Bag).

I'm tempted to ask, "What next?"...but I won't!

Thanks Gals!

Thank you for your kind comments, Katerina and Val!

Yay, I feel honoured that you use Herman Mar(k)valle as your avatar photo, Val!
The original picture is on its way to you - and of course it is Copyleft! (But to receive those bills is no bad idea. So you should share all profits with me, Mr. Marvalle / Herman!
By the way, now I know why I won't take cats into my home. Well, the furniture already has been scratched, by kids, and that's no problem as I regard those scratches as post-dada art. But cats-paw-scratches on me or on the pets in da house would be painful, as you might know well from experience by your cat hat).
