Sleeping Ginger Cat in Red Room Reading Nook Painting

A ginger cat sprawls lavishly across the cushion-laden luxury of a window seat in this vibrant 16x20 painting loosely inspired by Matisse's red room works. Beyond the large windows of this interior scene, two large trees intertwine. Their leaves, in shades of hunter, emerald, and spring green, open to reveal an inviting blue sky. A shelf of books and house plants marks the interior walls of the nook, while the white-painted bench holds a further library and a large snake plant growing from a woven basket. A striped Mexican serape blanket drapes over the soft-pink cushioned seat beneath the cat while an array of patterned pillows frames the seat behind him.
