      It's very clear and makes me wonder what will come next. Love the 3 birds smooched together in obvious curiosity knowing the cat is there. I say go for it!

          @Catherine Thanks! That is a good idea. The main focus is now indeed on the cat, but the other way around is better!

            @AngelinaKizz Thanks Angelina, I’m going to play around with the colours, see if I can make it work.

              @joosterwijk I came back for more! this composition is just so good! My eyes actually go to the bird first because all those birdcages, it’s really striking to me. But it’s also great how you have the contrast between the cat and its background. Really love this piece!

                @ThomCharles Thanks! In my first sketches I had them looking at each other, but I couldn’t get the birds yes-I-am-free feeling enough. I also now miss the tension, thanks for pointing it out, I’ll try to get it back 🙂

                    @joosterwijk I love that the bird is obliviously happy. He's just there thinking, Yes! I'm the luckiest bird in the world!

                      I'm a little late to the party, but wanted to chime in and say that I love the concept and got it right away! I think you should definitely go with it.

                          @joosterwijk The concept is clear in that luck is relative and fleeting. Right now, my eye bounces back and forth between the cat to the main bird. I would suggest when you try to make one of them clearly the main focus by adjusting value and your choice of color.

                            Thanks again everyone! This is what I made of it. Not much has changed, I tried looking at each other but I like this one better.
