Mouse Asleep – Sold

12×9 oil on board   Mouse is curled up fast asleep on the clean blanket. He looks so comfortable with his paws crossed. Very much a cat with nothing to do but relax.

He is painted in oil on board and framed in a contemporary white shadow frame. The board seems to float in the frame and casts a shadow on the background.

Mouse is a cat of great character who lives with Dawn and her family.  His favourite spot to sleep is on the fresh laundry! But nobody likes to disturb him so he sleeps on blissfully.  When I asked him to model for me naturally he chose a sleeping pose, he curled up on a nice clean blanket, crossed his paws and went to sleep. There’s nothing better for an artist than a sleeping model! :-)
