Martin’s Friend

Several months ago, I was given a very interesting commission by a charming English man. He sent me a photo of a good friend of his who loves cats. Well, as I love cats too and actually have two sweet ones, I was intrigued. The wife of said friend had taken a photo of her husband early one morning… one of those moments when I believe he was caught on camera unaware …  while he and his cat were enjoying something out the window. Compositionally all wrong … as the subject of a painting should be looking into the painting, somehow this composition still works. I hope he and his friend like it.
