When you buy from an independent artist, the money doesn't disappear into a warehouse somewhere; it goes directly toward more work getting made.

That's the whole engine. Choosing "Looking You Straight in the Eye" isn't just a decorating decision, it's a vote for more art to exist.

Wide, neon-green eyes fix a steady gaze, their luminosity offset by a magenta nose and cool turquoise accents. The portrait portrays a cat with animated linework and layered pastel marks that build texture across the face and ruff. Short, directional passages suggest fur without aiming for photographic exactness; color choices—electric blues, soft greens, and splashes of rose—lend the features a playful, slightly surreal presence.

Fine whiskers arc from the cheeks in confident, fluid lines, while the ears carry quick, energetic marks that hint at alertness. Shadows form from overlapping hues rather than heavy shading, so depth emerges through color relationships: warm pinks push forward, cooler tones recede. The overall effect balances realism with expressive color, making the animal feel both familiar and freshly observed.

Suitable as a lively focal point, this portrait brings unexpected color and personality to a living room wall, reading corner, or compact gallery wall.

A quiet rule that saves a lot of regret: measure twice, hang once.

If you're falling in love with "Waiting for Lunch" or my other artwork, consider proportions and measurements.

Some of my work comes in custom size options. You can find them in my online art gallery.

Genuine question for my followers: what's the one thing you'd tell someone buying directly from an artist? If you've never bought directly from an artist before, what questions do you have?

Take a look at "Upside Down" as my art feature today, and let me know your thoughts and questions.

💡 Practical design tip: Lighting changes everything about how art reads in a room.

Natural light shifts color temperature throughout the day, and most lamps cast warmer or cooler tones than you'd expect.

When you grab "Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut", spend some time thinking about the lighting to accompany it.

What type of lighting do you think would work best?
