This mixed-media painting features a stripy cat gazing up at a moonlit sky. The moon is depicted with Chinese lantern style seedheads. I hope you can feel the cat's playful energy and the peacefulness of the moon! This painting is done in an illustrative style that recalls the period of my life when I was reading to my children from beautifully illustrated books.
 
I used acrylic paints, inks and collage. I make my own collage papers by painting on lightweight sheets with layers of professional grade colour. After cutting out shapes with a knife, I glue the pieces onto good-quality paper using archival glue.
