Acrylic on canvas
The artist used to observe an ex-neighbour’s cats and noticed a certain mystique about them, especially their close bonding with their caregivers. The artist decided to paint a black cat hoping to capture the essence of this relationship. The artist says, “The cat knows it has your unconditional love, so it sits knowing you won’t hurt it from behind. In return it surveys the scene in front, looking out for pesky intruders.”
