Oh this is really lovely. For me, the semi-impressionistic style works a treat. I love the composition and all the fabulous colours that you used here. I hope it does very well in the contest!

Although, Im not a big fan of digital works, this looks very pleasing to the eye nevertheless. Well done on your colour choices (or choice of photograph to draw from). R

    There was no photograph. The valley is product of my imagination I used one of our cats as model to draw from.

A very eye-catching and colourful work. I like the brushwork of the background and the placement of the flowers! The cat looks realistic and the grey-white colours makes it standout. good luck in the contest!

    Thank you! Actually what he is thinking is: Send me a memo; I'll come back to you later. I'm on a mission.

I LOVE this painting. Love the curve of the path that winds through the wildflowers. The bright colors of the flowers pop of the page. I really like the colors you chose and how you arranged them.

Love how you have the cat turned to the right creating a new path to see that pretty feline. I also love how you have one foot lifted as he walks over the flowers.

This is Sweet and very pretty to look at. A joy to view and review! HAd to give you a six! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi

Nice colours and composition but I think you could have put a little more detail into the cats body, in particular his legs just to bring him forward a bit more which would have helped give a sense of depth and motion.

    Thank you for your honest review and your input. The leak of detail in the background is intended. I chose the semi-impressionist look to emphasize the surreality of the location as I wrote in my comments. It is just one of the pictures to a fable. Only the cat is real. The location is a dream similar to Alice's Wonderland.
Comment from RavnAdairDesigns


Wow is this beautiful! Just exceptional work for digital painting. Digital painting is SO HARD, LOL. And you have turned out a Beautiful work. The cat, first of all, is beautifully drawn and sculpted with color - which is a rare, wonderful talent. It's position and pose is engaging, so close to us and on his cat way somewhere, ignoring us, lol. Your colors are so attractive, creating an almost fantasy charm to the piece. Composition is sound, but maybe the weakest element here - not really complex enough throughout all the elements of the picture, maybe a little too obvious, to fit intriguingly around your cat - but still sound. It's just that your cat is so damn wonderful - lol! I enjoy this piece so very much. Thank you for posting!

    Thank you very much for your throughout review, your input and your high rating. You are very right with the fantasy appearance and the obvious feeding of the fantasy landscape around the cat. This effect is intended; but may works only with the story and in the series of pictures. Only the cat is real, the location is not.[See my comments.] The story is a fable, a dream similar to Alice in Wonderland. :-)

I am not a great fan of cats but this work is gorgeous. The colours are wonderful, especially the orange tones which caught my attention immediately. The cat has been painted so well and you have given him some movement in his tail and leg too. The flowers are delightful with various colours and also light falling on some areas of the leaves. Visually very striking with great immediate impact. A pleasure to view. Good Luck in the contest.
