Description
"Electra"
A digital soft pastel portrait painting is my interpretation of Electra, the playful cat in the poem "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." I used abstract shapes and shades of coral, pink, blue, gray, brown, white and yellow in my tribute to the literary character in the famous story. Loosely based on a photograph. Please visit my Jellicle Cats art gallery to see all the pieces in this series, and my The Zoo art gallery to see more of my animal artwork.
