This is amazing! I'm blown away by the detailing and the look of cautiousness/curiosity on its face.
Perfect use of light and dark, and also contrast.

Very well done. Detail of the bobcat is really nicely done. The reflection of the cat and the colors of the water are realistic. Again, very well done and good luck, Robert

Wow this is so impressive I had to double check whether painting or photograph. The detail you have achieved is excellent from the fur on the bobcat to the grasses. Good luck in contest should be a winner.

I'm really in aww over your painting. It is outstanding. The reflection of the bobcat is great. You really know what you're doing here a real artist I'd say. I find it challenging to use acrylics so my hats off to you. I hope you win the contest. Laprap

Comment from cleo85


This painting is breathtaking. I am impressed by the realism of the scene and the refinement if detail. I see the whiskers and the nails on the claws of the Bobcat. The markings at the fur are exquisite. Proportions and perspective are flawless. Light and colors are realistic. The reflection on the ice are interesting. The Bobcat is perfectly placed into the frame. The composition is balanced.

A very nice painting of the bobcat, who looks realistic and has really good eye concentration. The surface he's on is puzzling to me, however. It can't be water or he'd be sinking), and it doesn't look like mud nor concrete. Since there's a dark reflection, there must be some kind of liquid.

    Thanks very much for your kind review. The bobcat is on dark ice, that?s why I called it ?On Thin Ice?. I know it can be a little confusing.

    My oversight! Thanks for the feedback.

I so wish I had a six star rating for you...this is beautiful! Such attention to detail not only in the bobcat but in the reeds in the foreground and background. The highlights and details on the cat are so realistic giving great form to his body. Excellent work!
