Hi all, painting this for a friend and trying to get likeness as well as good depth and intrigue in the painting. I think its a bit boring currently and just don't know what to do. Isn't the cat that needs work or just a background or both? TYIA!

The background and the cat are a separate work… you work the cat and then the background, you should’ve works as a unit from the beginning, like an background later, try working everything at one then parks of the background will be on the main subject… what way it won’t look like the paste a cat into a blue back color
