Here’s a commission I painted over the summer for a friend to give to his wife. During their time together, they’ve had a total of eight cats. So the cats are all specific. The cat with the stars around him was named Ziggy Stardust. My friend picked the composition and colors from my older works, sent me a bunch of photos of his cats, and requested a few other details. They live up in the mountains, so I included some of their local flora and fauna. The little copper planet shimmers with mica paint.

@gwenbeads@mathstodon.xyz It's like M. C. Escher if he did surrealism.
