Beautiful work! Love your use of white space.

very nice….I’m bias….i just like cat things
AbyssalSoul
haha, I envy the cat! I wish I could be so relaxed. You did this with pencils right? It looks so smooth and clean, I like it!

Yes, love the minimalist approach with the space there. Very beautiful rendering of the cat there and the rainbow pillow, the textures produced by the coloured pencil really adds charm to the image. great work!!!
kookylane
Also, is it on purpose that you mounted this un-evenly to the left corner?
You got a very large white border around the image, and if you check out the framed print version or the mounted print, RB adds another border around it, and it makes the image even smaller. Just my opinion though.

I should be a bit more specific about wat i like about it but its hard to describe. The colours are very soothing. n the cat is well drawn. i’m not nuch of an artist so thats all i can say.
I know what I like and I like this one

Thank you for the lovely comments and feedback, it’s much appreciated!
AbyssalSoul, yes it was done with coloured pencil on a paper with very slight texture. Thank you!
kookylane, Have to admit that I didn’t intentionally place it that way but I liked it so much when I saw it that I left it as it is!

Nice work Mrana! Can’t wait for Red Bubble to start doing greetings cards – there about 12 beautiful illustrations in your portfolio I would love to send my freinds
mrana
Thank you Lara! ... I actually do have a site where my illustrations are sold as greeting cards if you’re interested … it’s at www.greetingcarduniverse.com/floatinglemons. Though it would be great if Red Bubble started doing greeting cards too, I hope that’s in the works! Cheers :)

I just bought this drawing as a greeting card and received it in the mail today. It is such a beautiful simple card and looks fab sitting on top of my piano. I purchased it to send on to a friend and am sure she is going to love it! Great drawing Mariana!

Awww..sorry to hear about the snake bite…did he recover ok? We lost our cat to a Tick over Christmas… lovely pic : ) well done! Wendy
elisab
Very nice work. The cat looks like it is going to fall asleep.
mrana
Thank you for the lovely comments! You’ll be very pleased to hear that Emerson recovered fully from the snake bite. Unfortunately, his (almost identical twin) brother Mozart succumbed to a paralytic tick a few months later :( Emerson has since found a home with one of my closest friends in Woollongong, as I’ve just moved all the way to France!
