Zorro & Snapper

This quirky painting is of my cat Zorro and his favourite food, fresh snapper!

Acrylic On Canvas, measuring 60×60cm.

Just a fun painting I did earlier this year when I first thought that this would be a good time in the year when I made a decision to rekindle and embrace my creativity.

Zorro & Snapper belongs to the following groups:

Abstract Art and The Eyes Have It

    I knew this was your work when I saw the thumbnail, it’s got Carmen all over it :) Love all the red with those big green eye’s. Very cool!

    Mark that makes me very very happy to hear… could it be possible I am developing a style… I have been told I can’t exhibit till I have a noteable style and overall message and theme, so you are only making me feel happier and more encouraged. This has been a huge year, all the paintins you see have been done in 2007 – before that, perhaps the last time I painted or created was about 1996! Thanks so much Mark to you and everyone else who is commenting for your support!

    I find it hard to comment on paintings, since photogrpahy is my preferred medium. I also notice that you have a style that really does show through. On this one, I like the colors, the look in the cats eyes, and the fact that the fish has teeth like the cat.
