Black & White Christmas Cat Folk Art Donna Hickerson
Acrylic on 9x11 inch wood plaque protected with satin varnish. This original painting looks good displayed on a small decorative easel or you may hang it on the wall with a plaque ring.
The cats in my life, since childhood, have been a continuous inspiration because of their intriguing moods and expressions. It is uncanny how they can capture the mood of the season. My cats always seemed to be as excited over Christmas as I was. The black & white cats are unique in that they represent nature’s version of formal wear. A black & white cat is always dressed up and ready to go.
This kitty is sitting in her favorite spot, surrounded by packages and ornaments, dreaming of all the joy of Christmas. The dark blue wintry sky has just dropped a few inches of fresh snow, which makes the berry-red barn pop out in the early evening light. The over-all blending of cool hues of blue extends onto the frame to give a soft, soothing ambiance.
Thank you for looking and please know that the colors are much richer in person.
