This is a wonderful image youhave painted here. Your use of the oil paint has worked well for this this. Great job with the colours and the presentation of this. The compositioin is very eye appealing.

Very nice painting showing her animals. The fireplace with the fire going in it gives this a very comfortable feeling. A place where you would feel welcome. Everything is well drawn and painted. Colors compliment each other well. Good light and dark areas. Good presentation. Well done.

How did you do it? Everything is so real!
The warmth from the flames, the presence of the cat and the softnes, deepness and luxuriousness of the rug. Wow!

You did a wonderful job of providing a corner perspective. Very nice how all three primary subjects (2 animals, fireplace) are pretty much situated in a direct line going from the center lower part of the canvas to the corner of the room. It gives a realistic impression as your eye navigates this line.

Comment from sharon drayton
Composition is really planned very well. Looks like pastel even though you didn't say. Colors work well together. Initail impact is delightful. Your drawing skill is very good...they look like a dog and a cat. Great work, love it. Sharon

This is nice and tells a wonderful story of creature comfort. You did a good job on the stove and animals. I can't tell it the floor is raised right under the stove? Anyway its real sweet Diane

Very nice textural enhancement that tells a great story which the cat is laying comfortably in front of the fireplace for the warmth.
