Lovely - is it pastel of oil? Really nice background.

Thank you for comment, yes it is oil paint dry brush on water colour paper.

I love it, you just want to pick him up and fuss over him, lovely painting.

Hmmm this is a scary painting. I suggest you take some time to think about how the viewer might react to your art,

Andrei, I really don't understand the last comment. It's an excellent painting, and I love the way you have allowed the front only to come into sharp focus. The only reactions I can think any viewer might have would all be positive.

Hmmm, you are right Max, It looks scary, but it is the way you get people's different reaction...

Andrei, don't get the scary bit? I agree with Aaron and Robert, he's cute and well painted.

So kitten like just lovely just remember he/she might grow and eat you one day...I think that's what meant by the scary..but hey this little cub looks so free and I hope he/she stays that way

The action of the cub is exactly right, a moment of play caught perfectly, well done. If you want to play with him and fuss him you'd better be another cub, and remember no holds barred! As with Robert I like the way you have borrowed from the photographic world and let the cub recede into soft focus. Also found it interesting that you used oil paint dry brushed onto water colour paper. From the photograph it looks like pastel. What weight is the paper please? Lovely painting, lovely idea, well done.
