you and the cat - sharon hodgson
“You and the Cat” – Acrylic on stretched canvas. 2007. Available.

This piece is a study of movement as my boyfriend – one of the “usual subjects” – petting one of our two cats. Her name is Wunjo.

It’s been a hectic week. He had a resigned expression on his face as he sat there petting this cat that insisted on being on his lap.

I saw the completed piece in my mind before I even applied one brush stroke to the canvas.
