Thankyou very much for this wonderful critque. You have pointed out all the elements that I used to make this an interesting painting.

Cats are not considered subject matter for high art so I am trying to challenge that concept.

I do try and tell a story, this was a wild farm cat and it was very wary of me, a stranger with a camera.

Thanks again for taking the time to critique.

It was a pleasure.
I fully understand what you mean about cat paintings so
keep going for that challenge you are doing so well.

I love this one!....He is obviously wondering who you are....and if he's wild he probably thinks you're up to no good...hence the look...It really is the most fabulous scene ....you have caught him in such a beautiful way....and your paintings are always so exquisite!!!

AstridBruning In reply to TriciaS [2012-09-03 11:46:50 +0000 UTC]

thankyou very much Tricia, he was a wild one. The painting went to a good home, a major elderly cat lover whom I visited regularly, it had prime position with all her other paintings (she was also a major art lover) ....

She was in her 90's and all the strays would go to her place. She is no longer around which I find sad for me and the cats. She stayed independent well into her 90s, had an amazing garden (that she maintened herself) with lots of birds, she just told the cats not to touch them (and they listened)
