This version of Parachute Ride (18 x 24”) served as a study for a larger painting that was included in the 2019 exhibition titled, Cats Rule: The Art of Michael Crane, at the Scarab Club in Detroit, Michigan. The inspiration for the painting was from a James Bond film, Moonracker, 1979. Luckily for our parachuting feline friend, Jaws is nowhere to be seen. This is one of my favorite paintings along with Rhino Ride.
Medusa Cat
Medusa Cat simply makes me laugh. I believe I have painted three version of Medusa Cat, each with a different background color (red, green, and the above). The snake heads remind me of the Pacman videogame character and the Medusa Cat’s green tongue really works well against the background/field color.
