"Enfolded"11" x 14" oil on board
$750
Strong, loving arms enfold a soft black cat. The deep black of the cat's fur against the rich red of the shirt makes a strong yet comforting composition. This painting is more about the arms than the cat. It tells the viewer that the animal is loved, even cherished by the owner.
My cat, Isabella, posed for this painting. She is a patient and sweet tempered Bombay. Her inky black fur is difficult to paint but, it is also a wonderful backdrop for those golden, jewel like eyes of hers. I have used her in many of the paintings in the "Feline - Studies In Grace" series.
