Glennis, this is lovely. He/she looks so contented. You've done the fur and tones so well. The ears are pricked up making the cat look alert along with relaxed. Maybe a member of its staff is nearby and it's nearly tea-time. One thought I had is that if you were to paint a little dark area underneath the cat, it might help to 'ground' it more to the sofa.

You have captured beautifully the form of the cat, and it works well on the floral fabric, super work.

Beautiful painting Glennis, well done

Wonderful painting, Glennis. Beautifully observed. The cat and the fabric both work so well.

That cat is beautifully painted in watercolour, he/she looks so real and what a lovely face. Works really well against the pattern of the sofa.

This is really lovely Glennis, the colours are superb!

This is just gorgeous, Glennis. You really handle both subjects very well and this strikes a very good balance - the solid form of the cat against the subtle blooms. Well done!

What an excellent job you've done of both of your favourite subjects.......super Glennis!!

What a beautiful combination, Glennis and so perfectly painted!

I'm not normally a lover of animal paintings but I have to say that this cat is superb! It's hard to believe that it's a watercolour, the detail is so good! Also, I love the textile background. Well done!

This is really great work Glennis!

Absolutely lovely. :)

Superb painting. Brilliant detail in both the cats fur and the cloth sofa.

this is lovely glennis, i love the fur and his little face

Thank you all so much for your very encouraging comments. I enjoyed painting this as it's a combination of my favorite subjects.

This is superb Glennis. That fur is so well done, and your roses are beautiful.

Ah its lovely Glennis.

Astonishingly good painting, a real tour de force - you've captured every detail without making the painting look even the slightest bit laboured; wonderful detail on the fur - just about perfect!

Carole, Denise and Robert - Many thanks for your comments which are always appeciated

In a gallery in the Cotswolds a couple of years ago and saw this cat napping on this sofa - thought the colours were lovely so took a photo and put it in my 'to paint' file. This is my version of it, I enjoy painting animals and also flowers so it was a happy combination. Saunders Waterford paper.
