Is so generous with their compliments.
When I post them to the group…. They sink
like the titanic.

I keep trying though. I’m self taught.
I’m going to get some lessons with my first Social security check just because I love painting and want to
learn how to do things right!

In the meantime I like posting in D.U. as I feel like my efforts are enjoyed anyway!

I’m a amateurs in comparison to people in the group but
I don’t care. The people here like my art and so do my friends.

so I take your compliment and wear it like a crown!

You just did.

I think your painting is just fine. If you had not challenged us to critique it, I would have missed some observations. Upon scrutinizing I could say that the cat is disproportionately large, but that is a good technique. Great artists have done that in order to create the proper impression in the viewer's eye. I like the coordination between the curtain's sash and the cat's tail. Also, I like that the building appears to be looking back at the cat. Great work!

because I have a Mainecoon and she’s a cat with a big butt!


No really learning perception is so hard for me and things with straight lines!

It was bounding over to the window and it looked as though it could easily tear out the screen.

I am glad that she has a good home with your family.

Creates a mood for the viewer, and yours here certainly does that, with the gray and muted colors and pensive pose of the cat. Sometimes it’s good not to overthink and obsess with things like straight lines. Just create a mood! My personal opinion. Very nice work.

I know all the best things I’ve painted are on arches paper.
When I switch up it’s like to have to relearn how to paint on the paper your using.

I have 2 stools pushed together so she can sit at my big kitchen window..just like what you painted. No apologies needed for another keeper!

make the rocking world ho round!

Nicely done.

I’m better at other things.
