This is a lovely drawing. I like the attention to the expressive eyes and the gentle expression on her face. Very nice work.

I feel for you, I have had that experience on more than one occasion in my time - I like your attitude - you only let it bother you briefly then you get down and move on - I noticed upon viewing the work that it imparts anger in the look Cleo gives the world from his 2 dimensional paper home - Great work - Thank you - Howard

    Thank you so much Howard. I appreciate your inside review. There is may a little anger from both Cleo's in the eyes.
Comment from Gira


This is very simple but expressive.I liked the quick sketching.These eyes look very expressive.I also liked how you have shaded her.
The transperent look in her eyes make this look more expressive.Thanks for sharing.Good luck!

    Thank you so much Gira for your kind review. Yes this was quick sketching, a little to quick for me. It could have been much better with some more time. But the deadline got me. Almost didn't make it for the contest.
reply by Gira on 09-May-2009
    Yes I can see that,and even I missed the deadline just for 30 minutes..!!
    Its ok...next time!!

Comment from MoonShine


love the very expressive nature of this beautiful little sketch of an inquisitive cat, those eyes are filled with a kind of craziness that could entrance anybody, hypnotic, a little darker would be more enticing, But other than that, a great little sketch with lots of character and life.

    Thank you so much. I agree it could be little darker. But I couldn't do it. Did you read my notes? since somebody lifted my paper and I'm unable to replace the paper here right away, I had to work on slippy gray construction paper what didn't took my pencils well.

    Thank you for your generous review.
    The eyes arent even because they aren't on the cat itself. She has different colored eyes. You see it in about 2/3 of the left eye.
Comment from MoonWillow


Oh man, how sad, Cleo. Your things getting stolen, I mean. Of all the things in your house, why would they want your art stuff. People are so strange.
I had a drawing of a kitty too, but got to playing with it digitally, so therefore disqualified myself from the contest...lol.
Your kitty here is so cute. I don't know how you could concentrate on doing anything after what happened. I feel like this little girl is staring right at me :) I wish you luck in the contest!!

    Thank you so much for your kind review.
    My art supplies wasn't the only things missing. But it was very strange what they took truth. Or not so strange. All thinks you can't by down here. I think it also was somebody English spoken. Some rear books are missing but all written in English, non of the Spanish. Somebody know verry well that I'm an artist. We have to go to the States in a month so I will be hopefully be able to replace some. What really hurt is that some of my paintings are gone. I had them packed up for a couple of local art shows. I think they were token in accident for blank canvas or maybe to be over painted.

    Be very careful, Cleo. Because they now know where to get what they want, and they will be watching for you to leave again. It is someone who knew you would be gone from the house or saw you leaving. I am so sorry. Can you order what you need on the Internet?
reply by the author on 09-May-2009
    I can order it but will do it from the US. It is to complicated, expensive and time consuming to have things send down here.
    I will be careful. Everything will be locked in my studio. It is hard to brake in there. The village security will keep an extra eye on the place.

Cleo for your namesake she is a beautiful cat by any standard so stand tall lady. By the way if I can be of any assistance in getting supplies to you drop me a PM. I do not live in a large town with art stores but I know the isolation you experience and will be glad to help as best I can. Rockdoc.

    Thank you so much for your beautiful review and your great offer. I'll be fine for now. We have to go to Texas for more medical of my husband in a month. I'll get the stuff there. That will be faster. In the main time I stay with digital. It is difficult to send something here. The mail and even FedEx isn't what it is in the States. Web live in paradise but it is a third world paradise. I appreciate your offer more then you imagine. Thank you ~Cleo
