I painted Mid-Century Modern Cat (Blue) back in 2018. This example goes back to some of my first cat paintings in 2008 that featured a series of startled cats leaping in the air with open mouths and exposed claws. I’ve resurfaced some of these characteristics as of late.
The inspiration behind this mid-century series is the simplified and streamlined approach that was popular during that period. My mid-century series features cats with triangular eyes and ears resembling horns. Many of which are painted black which adds to their mysterious nature.
