Blue Eyes on the Gravel, Cat Portrait

A cream-white cat with orange markings on its face, ears and tail walks across dark gravel and looks up at the viewer with blue eyes. The image has a smooth, swirling oil-paint texture. A dark band at the bottom holds a quotation about cats in pale lettering, attributed to Miguel de Cervantes.

A cat portrait that does not look like the usual pet photo. The cream and orange cat, seen from above, walks straight toward you across dark gravel and looks up with pale blue eyes. The fur and the pebbles share one swirling, oil-paint texture. It suits a cat lover who wants a piece with a painter's surface and one animal that holds your gaze, not a generic cat print. The quotation in the dark band beneath adds a second thing to read.
