Acrylic & oil on canvas

This painting captures my cat Cheeto as a kitten, staring into a BiOrb fish tank. The scene is set in my childhood home, and the painting blends personal memory with the universal experience of curiosity and wonder. Using acrylic for the underpainting and oil for the most detailed areas, I created a sense of depth and focus. Home is about observation, connection, and the quiet moments that make us feel present.Original works are not available for purchase. Limited edition prints are available upon request.
