Cool-looking cat. There are quite a lot of different colors on it that seem to be painted very intricately. I would say the only thing imperfect about it at all would be is that parts of the cat are slightly crooked, although it's very good.

    Thank you for your review. It is in fact the intention of this artwork to be loose and impressionistic not photorealistic hence the parts that seem crooked are part of its intended affect. Your comments are really appreciated.

I like the drawing very much. This is not a good photograph of the drawing and it comes off smudged or blurry. I am assuming that is the photo. Nice shape in the cat, good colors. Interesting eyes. Good use of the medium. Well seen.

    Thank you for reviewing. I actually think it's not the photo. I have done a sharpness edit but it still the same. The blue cast I added is much watered down and is blurry over the fur as I was not into great detail but more a suggestion. I will try another photo to see if it improves. I appreciate your comments.

I like the color palette you used to create an image of this exotic cat. Your loose strokes create a softness to the fur without trying to show every hair. I can almost hear it purring.

This is a nice portrait of a beautiful Exotic breed Egyptian Mau cat! I'm impressed by your ability to paint by a memory. The only thing is kinda suspicious to me is the oversized ears. I guess, this specific cat has big ears. The color blend is nice, good composition, Excellent presentation! Good luck in the contest!

    Thank you. My memory exercise I do every so often especially if I want to try a new medium or subject. The Mau cat does have prominant ears but probably not as large as these and when I checked my accuracy they are more pointed. Lol.
