She means business! Very nice!

A smashing watercolour Vivian. I like the indistinct background which places the emphasis on the cat which is very well done. I also like that the painting is telling a story.

Beautifully observed posture, and really well executed. Great mixture of lost and found edges which to me seems to emphasize the tension in her muscles as she prepares to pounce. Love it.

This is lovely - I really appreciate the subtlety of your work here - I am trying to master watercolour techniques - it's not easy, especially as I normally paint in acrylic or oils. I am very heavy handed with it! Hope I can turn out something as nice as this eventually!

This is just great!!

Such an eye- catching painting. Great composition and technique.

Superb - just love it. Great command of watercolour.

Beautiful loose style. Love it.

Super watercolour, that cat definitely has his eye on something.

Fantastic watercolour - very contemplative piece - I love it.

I am completely thrilled with all the positive comments I've received here! My intention was to use the hard and soft edges and the contrast of colour to describe the tension of the cat. Thank you for all your encouraging words and kind comments.

interesting endearing-nice and already

Beautfully balanced composition - counter-intuitively so. Superb.
