Wow. That is one intense look in that cat’s eyes. Great triangular composition that just keeps one’s eyes going around and around it, from the cat’s eyes to the two mice. I’m not sure which mouse is in more trouble–the foolish one who seems to be communicating with the cat, or the fat one paying attention to nothing but the food. GREAT illustration!
Thank you!! Thanks for your great feedback too
My first thought upon seeing this illustration was, “Mmmmm….snacks!” Very dramatic, beautiful work.
Thank you Laurie
The cat’s eyes are fantastic! They follow you no matter where you are looking from.
yaaay, just as planned and very happy to hear that!
Thank you Kate!!
Beautiful illustration! (I like mice!)
The lighting in this is simply tremendous!
