Another zen cat ACEO, "Calico Cat in Amethyst Moonlight":




eroo Item 9423

Against the background of a luminous full moon, a calico cat sits in a tree watching the falling autumn leaves. The night sky is in gentle shades of lilac, lavender and purple. This miniature feng shui piece, part of the Zen Mandala modern art series (botanical abstract landscapes in a contemporary Asian style), is an original acrylic painting.


I am almost finished with an 8 x 10 zen cat painting. This will be my first painting of my cat, Megan. Stay tuned...

It has been lightly varnished to protect the paint and preserve the lustrous colors. The style would be best described as Abstract Impressionism. The copyright watermark does not appear on the actual painting.
