The eyes are powerful. It seems to star directly to the viewers. The softness of the pastel seems to be best fit to fur rendering. The feature is so accurately drawn and rendered. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


Suzanne, this is a very curious looking cat and it feels like she wants to know more about ME! !

I like the feeling your art has elicited out of me.

I cannot help but smile to notice the right ear is larger than the left and how sometimes that happens in nature. It is, along with the expression on the face, what gives this upload that 'cute' factor.

If I may comment constructively on this art I would like to mention that the reddish hues you have placed on the top of his/her head give a lack of uniformity to the fur and that the lost definition of the mouth I also find a bit distracting. BUT in photography we say if the eyes are dead sharp then little sins can be forgiven.

I like the background blue with steely gray works as two companion colours exuding solidness. I would not have minded a tad closer crop as I feel there is a bit too much negative space up top.

The details within the fur handled well done with depth being felt. But it is those eyes that simply win me over.

purr purrr purrrr.

Love it inspite of the upload. A precious portrait of Mandy, and such wonderful detail in her eyes and fur. Thank you for your notes. The background is perfect for the kitten. She looks so bright eyed and ready to go! Nice work, Sizanne.

Subtle rendition of a photogenic long haired Mandy with all the details meticulously given focal attention.
The pink fur tips are unusual.
It must have a genetic mutation from her nose.
I like the bluish green eye coloration.
Nice backdrop.
The fluffiness and highlights are impressive.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh she is cute and by the look of her very alert. You have done an amazing job with the soft pastels to get so much fine detail in her eye and fur. Love those eye and nose and the tinge of pink in the fur. Excellent piece of art work once again, very well done.

This looks like a photo to me. Love the great stroke work and the fine detail you show of her fur. Great eyes. The colors pop against the blue b/g. Very nice job!

I am a sucker for animals with a frank expression in their eyes. Nice texture in the fur and really like how you incorporated the blues into the fur. Ah but, those eyes. Very nice! When I first looked at this painting it made me chuckle with pleasure.

Yes she is very beautiful and her green eyes are sparkling and alive. I love the dark lines bordering her eyes and the texture of her fur.
