Ginger Cat in Embroidered Red Armchair with Staffordshire Spaniel in Book-Lined Room Interior Painting After Matisse Print

Stuck at home with my rather wonderful family through this pandemic, I have begun to revisit my earlier series of interior pieces-- adding new ones to the collection, dream spaces where I might curl up with a book and a cup of tea and the quiet company of the cat. This painting features a blush pink room in which a bookshelf overflows with books and plants and tchotchkes. A ginger cat naps in a comically distorted position in a comfortable overstuffed red armchair embroidered with a folk art inspired pattern of birds and flowers. An ornate pale blue fireplace offers a mantelpiece laden with more plants including a polka dot begonia, and a tall and proud Staffordshire spaniel. A rainbow colored rug covers the floor which is made up of lovely variegated terra-cotta tiles. It is painted on cradled birch board and will ship, lovingly wrapped in acid-free glassine and layers of padding and cradled in a box.
