leah, this is a beauty. You put so much into every detail. Once you see the cat he really stays present.
Really well done!!
I love the mood of your color palette, and all the crescent moon shapes in the old man. Wonderful work!
"...once you see the cat..." Any clues for those of us who don't?
Thanks everyone for your kind comments!

Thanks for the clue, the lost kitty is now found.
