Clever, creative, whimsical. A knowledge of cat psychology is exhibited as well since they always seem to have a high opinion of themselves. Very capably executed. I like how you got such bold colors with your pencils.

What a unique and clever painting with the subject painting himself as a tiger.
I also like the wooden easel you put in the piece. The small table holding the brushes is interesting too, but I'm wondering if some darker colors under to table top would help to make it look more realistic.

Good job!

Oh just marvelous Raoul! LOVE LOVE LOVE that he's looking at himself and drawing a Tiger. Very imaginative of you. I have a Siamese cat who I KNOW thinks of herself like this....and a young German Shepard who also thinks the cat's a tiger.

Marvelous amount of detail...aren't colored pencils just the best! So well drawn and perfectly titled!! Best of luck in the contest.

Such a creative composition. It is so cute. Lots of great textures and shapes. The shades of brown are lovely. Such an imagination you have to paint what you think a cat would paint. I love it. Very well done

Very cute and inspirational. I love it! It feels like it is in 3-D. Nothing flat about this painting. You've done a nice job with the colors, contrast, balance, creating depth and creating a story. Good work!!!

I cannot believe this was done using colored pencils! I love the fact that your beloved Tiger was so confident in how he saw himself, he made himself look like what he felt inside in his painting, a real Tiger!! What a great concept! You have a winner here. Love how the mirror reflects what we do not see and that is the wall behind him.Love it! Thank you so much for sharing this unique piece!

Comment from SCHATZLING


I just fell in love with your Art here. How adorable and quite lovely and such wonderful imagination you have in order to have created this piece. You didn't by chance go to the movies recently and watched that cartoon about what pets do while their masters are at work....I thought of that immediately when I saw your drawing (smile). You did an excellent job from the background to the mirrored image to the drawing the cat is painting to the entire composition. SIMPLY OUTSTANDING. In honor of your kitty....I hope you frame this and hang it in a special place to always remember the cat you have once loved bad cared for. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you very much seshadri. I am honoured and indeed I should have entered it in the contest. I thought I had but there must have been a glitch somewhere during the submission. Ah, well. Thanks once again for the generous rating! R
