Black & White Shorthaired cat Acrylic painting

JOVI

PORTRAIT COMPLETED:
August 2018

I captured this photograph of my friend's cat (and her other 4) because I had very few reference photos of Cat's and so went up to her house to take some photos of them all. This is Jovi, who was sadly knocked over by a hit and run and was instantly killed. This painting, although was never originally created as a memento of Jovi, sadly turned into one, but I hope his portrait offers some comfort to his loving family, knowing he'll never be forgotten.

Jovi the black and white shorthaired cat

This is a photo I took of my friend's cat Jovi (name taken from the band 'Bon-jovi') when I visited one day. I liked the pose and started a painting of him. Sadly, it became a memorial painting after he passed away, and I presented it to my friend where he now takes pride of place on the bookshelf.
