When I created this piece I was pretty far ahead. I went slightly bigger with this one compared to the others and I chose a piece that would really highlight the texture of pumpkin. I wanted this up close shot because I wanted to see if I could handle making the lines and the textures with prismas like I was able to with oil paint on my pet portrait. I think this piece is similar to the other cat and the pieces with biscuit because the background pulls everything together. I accomplished the contrast and line work I was trying to achieve in the other cat piece. The background with the couch is blue and it compliments the orange within the cats fur making it more appealing. I used a deep red in each ground to make the viewers eyes travel across the entire picture. It was only weeks after creating the piece that Jessica brought it to my attention that Pumpkin looks like he's trying to take a selfie, with heightens the personality of the cat. With the colors, eyes and the composition I was able to capture an accurate portrait of Pumpkins personality and I'm very pleased with it.
