Old Town

This painting brings together animal portraiture and cityscape in a single, restless image. A black-and-white cat sits in the foreground before a layered view of rooftops and a tall church spire, its pale blue eyes holding the composition with alert intensity. Loose, textured brushwork gives both the animal and the town the same flickering material presence, blurring the line between living figure and remembered place. Rather than treating the cat as a separate subject, the work suggests a shared atmosphere of watchfulness, familiarity, and belonging.
