A little more
I have done a bit more painting this morning. Added some more detail and texture to the cat, and put some modelling paste on the wool, then worked on it with a comb to give texture.I had tought of sticking on some real wool! What do you think?
I need to add more depth to the cat with added darks and lights, and I don't quite like the purple wool at the front. It is too bright and distracts you from the main subject - the cat. However, a complementary colour is needed - just not as bright. I may put some brown wool in the top right hand corner to balance the composition better. Maybe add some texture to the background.

Your finished painting is wonderful! You captured the sense of twisted yarn in behind the cat and I liked that you changed the colouring of the skeins from purple to a lighter blue.
It's not quite finished yet!
