The Cats

   
This original 24 x 18 inch acrylic painting pays tribute to my Dad's cats Siegfried and Brunhilda. I wanted to capture their essence while incorporating my own expressive style. The realistic depiction of their eyes offsets them from their fur and the stylized geometric background. I enjoy bringing a jungle theme into my work and this painting provided the perfect opportunity. These cats are not merely house pets but Jungle cats overlooking their territory from their throne.
