Cator the Actor

studio study, oil, 6x6, 'Cator'

Abstra-Cat is the movie star from Hollypaws. Drama and a enormous ego match his bright tangerine glow set off by the ocean blue bow tie. The use of complimentary colors, (colors opposite each other on the color wheel), orange/blue, red/green, make 'Cator the Actor' an Academy Award winner. 

I was surprised when I counted all the triangular shapes in this painting! How many can you count?
​With so many repeating triangles, the circular eye shapes add visual interest. This is called unity with variety. Take a salutation 'Cator', the applause is over whelming!
