He has just the right look in his eyes. SO many have been lost in the recent fires in Victoria, such a shame.
I like the background and the medium used to depict his fur.
I would have perhaps brought his arm up higher to his shoulder on the left hand side of his body.
Otherwise he is lovely and I have seen them many times and in fact had two walk into my camping site in Nelson Bay New South Wales. They make an awful sound in the night when they are calling to each other.

Comment from Mike Roberts


It is sooo cute, Suzanne. I love your soft pastel work. It is very lovely. You get the detail right where it is needed, and then you get the fur, the coat so soft that it appears petable. I like the life like eyes and expression. This is terrific and best wishes for a great contest!

Mike

I like the blues and greens here- my fav colors. The touch of orange gives this depth as does the eyes and nose. The appearance has a nice soft appeal. Thanks for posting this.

My favorite fuzzy critter. You got that," What you looking at", stare. Very soft but powerful on the subject. Love the colors you choose. The green background works well to push the subject to the viewer. Great job. Thank you

This is an excellent picture for a neat subject. The way you have managed the lights get the theme stands out more. Gives an overall great looking.
