He certainly looks old @Valley Gardener but no cat is ugly! He looks as though he could tell a few stories and Boris certainly suits him. I am sure you will be able to capture his rather sad look. Personally I think he's lovely and looks as though he needs some TLC.
I am looking forward to seeing your painting of Boris. He seems quite satisfied with himself in that photograph. I bet the hours fly by when you are painting VG.
Boris is lovely and typical of the 'new' breed Siamese with an over-pointed face and big ears. I much prefer the old breed standards which are now making a come-back where the face is not quite so 'pointy'.

Here is Boris,the most difficult cat I've ever had the pleasure of painting!If his owner doesn't like it then it will go in the summer exhibition in town..........i'm not altering anything,had enough!😊😊
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
@Purplerain The owner told me the colour of his eyes as the photo wasn't good,just showed them as a black area.It's to be a surprise for her husband (his cat) I just hope she's not expecting an exact photographic image!!!😀😀😀

@Valley Gardener I think you have caught Boris very well. The painting looks as if you have had no trouble at all, and I am sure his owner will love it.

Hope to make a start on him tomorrow!
