I love this so much. I'm a huge cat fan. This is gorgeous! I'm in awe at it. So pretty! And I love the contrast in colors with the fruit and background.

Maureen, this is a wonderful still life painting. You used a dark draping that is not distracting and at the same times focuses all attention on the contents of the still life. You included all different fruits, a pitcher of cherries, strawberries, two kinds of grapes, wine bottle and a cat. I find this very enjoyable and an excellent entry into the contest. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

You're so clever Maureen! The detail here is superb and I love the originality of the composition. Any scene can always be improved by the addition of an animal in my book! Your lovely pussy cat nestled there eyeing up the treats made me smile and I enjoyed it very much. Talented work that fully deserves 6 stars.

Still life with so much life. This is a gorgeous piece. The colors and blending are amazing. What's that cat doing? Is he just relaxing? causing trouble? about to wreck havoc. we'll never know what his plans are

A beautiful oil. The subjects combined to give this a charming, old world feel. I especially love the lighting. Soft and romantic. Your cat is enchanting. Love this.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of your lovely creation. Reckon that cat has just had its lunch and that is why is resting and not munching on those juicy fruits. Nicely painted!
