Can you paint on a wall that has gloss paint on it?

I find it hard to express how I felt when I saw your interpretations of my dear departed boy, Smokey, the Prince of Cats.

That you can capture the essence of who he was with just a few photos is truly amazing. You are very, very clever, and your gift goes far beyond and deeper than just your incredible technique. One of the reasons I was dubious about having him looking directly at me was that I didn’t think anyone could capture his eyes, but you did it, and he is there. And the graphite one is …
