Penny: I think we all have pieces of art that somehow leave us dissatisfied; this one must be yours! There won't be much anyone can say to change your mind about the choices you made when you got started.
BUT - rest assured, this is a very successful piece! I think you nailed the fur, and at least on my monitor the strokes of white are perfect to make the rest of the hair colors pop. The eyes are expressive and the face is sweet looking. I don't see anyone really complaining about background colors (other than the artist!).

I hope you eventually relax with this one, even though it may never be a favorite of your own. She's cute as can be!
