Sassy Smiling Black Kitten Portrait

@himmis, Opaque painterly color shapes, visible controlled brushstrokes, firm edges, soft blending, and clear local contrast.
A fluffy black kitten with a slightly anthropomorphic face, half-lidded eyes, a smug mischievous smile, a tiny tongue sticking out, and soft blushing cheeks.
It looks playful, teasing, and very pleased with itself.
Cute seated pose, one paw slightly raised, curled tail, square abstract background.
