exquisite Ragdoll cat on teal moire sofa with floral tapestry pillow oil painting

"Osa"
7x5 inches / oil on panel
SOLD
Osa is an absolutely exquisite Ragdoll cat with big blue eyes, who is pictured here on a teal moire, tufted sofa with fringed, floral tapestry pillow.  She is only a 10 month old kitten but will become quite big as an adult, and is very lovable.  Just imagine snuggling kisses in all that thick fur!

This painting if truly "exquisite"! Love the expression and wonderful detail in such a small painting! Amazing work!

Thank you SO much, Norma! Osa is such a spectacular kitten especially snuggled against the beautiful tapestry pillow and Victorian moire sofa. Being a still life artist for so long, I especially love painting portrats that include intimate views of the surrounding settings. Of course it was a sheer joy painting Osa's deep, thick fur and magnetic blue eyes! Thank you for your lovely comments! Jeanne
