Bird Watching (Cat at the Window)
$300
20″ x 18″ Acrylic and Collage on Canvas
A mosaic cat, rendered in warm yellows, oranges, and hints of green, as it gazes out the window. The patterned collage creates a rich and vivid surface pulling the viewer in to explore the variety of patterns used to create form, light and shadow.
The magenta window frame, also adorned with more collage, is a striking diagonal in the lower half of the painting and a strong vertical element in the right half of the painting.
Bare trees with thin, dark branches stand against a pale blue sky, hinting at the cold air outside. A winding road leads into the distance, drawing the viewer’s eye into the scene.
The overall style of the painting is expressive and somewhat naive with a focus on color and texture rather than strict realism.
