Cat In a Purple Coat is a nod…. no, more than a nod to Henri Matisse, who created bold, simplistic paintings that captivate the world. He must have liked his purple coat, because there’s more than one painting of a woman wearing it, lounging on a chair.

But this subject, of course, is a cat. And if you’re a cat lover, you might like this painting even more than the originals painted by Matisse.

It’s an oil on stretched canvas with several coats of varnish. It’s a rich, vibrant, free work of art that will be familiar, and at the same time….. it’s a cat.

The 16×20″ painting comes unframed.
