The Cat's Whiskers Painting

"The Cat's Whiskers", a portrait of a black cat in mix media on acid-free watercolour paper. I love to paint animals, the challenges of showing fur and texture through art. The most difficult is getting the expression right in the eyes. Here we have a portrait with a twist. The cat looks out at us, a stare slightly apprehensive, as he seems unaware of the money spider hanging from his whisker. But, he can feel the almost present weight of the creature. A picture that is not only a work of art but clearly shows my work as an illustrator! The work is presented in a square, ivory coloured, acid-free mount ready for framing. Overall size including mount, 9,8 inches.
