The painting shows a red tabby cat caught between sleeping and waking. It is a very peaceful image. I was immediately drawn to this fleeting moment - the gentle transition where the cat's eyes are half-open, her expression soft but tinged with curiosity. It is a moment of vulnerability and quiet strength, showing the delicate balance between stillness and awakening.
The cat is painted with great attention to detail, with each brushstroke revealing the intricate texture of her fur. The rich, warm tones of her fur contrast beautifully with the stark purity of the white background, creating a striking visual focus. There is a subtle grounding beneath her that adds depth and anchors her to the canvas. It is a quiet echo of the 'here and now'.
I want this painting to make people feel calm and curious. The cat's calm pose encourages the viewer to stand still and reflect, to share in the intimacy of this moment. I hope that her warm gaze and attention to detail inspire admiration not only for her beauty, but for the art of observing the smallest, most profound moments in life. This work is a celebration of grace, patience and the quiet connections that unite us to the living world.
