Even though I own two black cats, I have to admit that this guy looks very intimidating! Outstanding work and your sister is lucky to have this painting in her home!
If Bernie gets tired of this hanging on her wall I'll take it off her hands. A superb painting of this cat, Eugene. Nicely detailed and great colours in the image. Best of luck in the contest.
Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
