Great composition and details on this playful cat trying to walk on the ice.
Such a realistic lights and shadows that are as close to the real bobcat as it gets. Nice framing with the grasses that are the same color tones as the bobcat.
Wonderful painting and so many thank you for sharing your work!

This is a magnificent bobcat.
You can almost feel the heaviness of the body as he carefully stretches to cross the ice- gripping tightly with his paws. The attention to facial detail and the design of the fur on the body is very well done. Nice reflections upon the water. Good focus, clarity and tone.
Fine technique and work

Gorgeous artistry found in this acrylic rendering. Such warmth found in the tonal palette as well as rich array of pleasing textures to explore throughout from grasses, to fur variations and design all the way to my favorite, the surfacing of the water, its reflections and touch of Monet washes of beauty. Great proportioning on your cat. I love his deep expression behind his gaze at what he's studying.

Very beautiful and so detailed! Your painting is amazingly alive with this bobcat, claws outstretched to stay upright on the ice! Great natural colors and anatomy ~ your painting is done with superb skill!

Oh My Gosh! I still can't believe that this isn't a photograph. Incredible! The grass, the fur, the reflection on the ice, everything is spot on! No criticism! Great job:):):):)

I remember when you first posted this one! I was very impressed by this work as it look like a photo. Sadly I would have given it a 6-star rating but I am all out. I have enjoyed viewing your art as you have many fine works. Thanks for re-sharing.

What a beautiful painting! The shadows are fabulous. The background is extremely well done. The fur looks touchable. A very well done painting.

Oh my goodness. I thought this was a photograph at first. It is that realistic.

The details in the Bobcat are amazingly lifelike. The pose is perfect for the scene. The ice is o ell one that it looks real. Bravo.

A Great entry for the contest and one that I am sure will do very very well. Great work Janice ~ Steve

You know what sucks? Me not having any 6's to award you for this creation. The body form and language is excellent. The facial expression is excellent. The depth is perfect. The details is excellent. The shading is superb. The blend of the colors is awesome. A strong initial impact that grabs the viewers eye and entice to search every inch of this creation. The creation is well balance and very eye appealing to the viewer. Those are my words but at least let me show you my true reaction to this work...(standing clapping and cheering) wooooooooooohhhhooooooo
