12x17 in ~ Painting, Watercolor
Watercolor painting of neighbor's cat watching the birds at the bird feeder, she thought she was invisible on the grey rock, I loved the way the sun was making the autumn foliage glow behind the cat. Transparent Watercolor with multiple glazed layers. This image was selected by jury for display in the Connecticut Watercolor Society exhibit 2015. The image is framed behind glass with neutral mat and narrow grey wooden frame.
The composition centers around a fluffy, gray cat perched on a rock in a dense forest illuminated by warm, earthy tones of orange, yellow, and brown. The cat's keen, yellow eyes gaze directly at the viewer, creating an immediate connection and intrigue, while its thick, slightly tousled fur adds a wild, untamed quality to its presence.
The background features tall, leafless trees that evoke an ethereal and slightly mysterious atmosphere, with the intricate details of the cat’s fur contrasting stunningly against the more abstract rendering of the forest. This contrast not only highlights the cat as the central focus but also brings a sense of depth and dimension to the piece.
