From the Artist: This painting is a portrait of me and my cat which was from a picture taken about four years ago. My idea was to portray the emotion of love for my cat through the painting.
From the Painting Guide: It's a painting that does indeed convey the love between the two of you and contentment from being together! I also like the way the colors in the curls of your hair are matched by your cat's fur patterns; it shows yet another bond between you.
Things to Consider When Looking at This Painting:
Background: A background should add to a portrait without distracting from it, and I think the background in this painting achieves this. The slight texture makes it visually interesting, far more than a flat or solid color would be. The choice of color adds a golden warmth to the scene as well as emphasizing the cat's golden eyes.
