A very fancy cat poses proudly with a spilled waterglass, surrounded by cascading garlands of catnip, with the mounted head of a mouse on the wall behind him. To reduce waste and conserve materials, I frequently reuse canvases when I don’t like the first thing I’ve painted. Cat King was painted over a very badly painted cat that I first painted when I was in grade school. You can see the original and the transformation here.
