Awwww, what a sad little face. Wonderful feeling in the piece. I love your contrast in shadows and light. Lovely composition and fantastic story telling. Thanks for sharing.

    Lucien, if anything I think its the dimensions of the kitty's head...maybe slightly smaller. It seemed a little distracting :)
Comment from Robin Gillow


This is certainly different to a lot of you other work and very creative. Your rendition is good and the way you have composed it, is appealing. All up it is a really nice piece of artwork. Robin

    Somehow it looks like an older piece as it is slightly more amateurish in a way. Perhaps due to the form in the cats face, not being quite correct? I generally find that you see things very well and FORM is something you excel at.
Comment from dreamndee


What a sad little face kitty has here. You really captured the fur nicely in this one. Especially at the paws. Good luck in the contest.

Oh I feel so sad looking at this helpless little face. What a super depiction of this kitten. The manner in which this work was done, shows such incredable talent, very emotive piece of art. Peace2u.

Comment from lorac1


You did very well in meeting the challanges of the stipple drawing. It seems like a time consuming process. You have fine detail in the cat and the curtain. The expression on the face of the cat really tells how she feels about waiting!

Hats off to the skill and patience it must take to do something like this.

Captured a lovely soulful expression on the cat and works well in b&w.
