Did I mention that Sadie died in September and we're still heartbroken?
This started out as a sketch as above. Chui said to make the eyes bigger, and fixed the reflection not to be a precise dot, but more diffuse on the eyeball. Also he had me compare the whites in the couch vs. her fur, which was the lightest part of the painting. The detail on the pillow is not too detailed, which would look finicky. The painting is inspired by a number of Cavalier paintings, one sent from a friend who photographed this Manet.
Chui himself made this sketch of Sadie which I've posted before, it's lovely. The fur is amazing.
And various other artists:
