About this work

The painting depicts a cat with a brown and tan striped coat, walking towards the right side of the image. The cat's eyes are green, and its nose is pink. The background of the painting is dark blue. The cat's body is positioned in a dynamic pose, with its front legs extended and its back legs bent. The artist's use of color and texture creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. This painting is reminiscent of the work of other artists who have explored the theme of animals in their art. For further exploration, look up the artist Parkins, David.
