Cats in Art: A Proud Mother (Paton)

From my continuing weekly Sunday series of cats in art. In my first post on 1 July on the artist Frank Paton, I was using some ideas from the coffee table book, The Cat in Art, by Stefano Zuffi. In researching Paton, I uncovered several other cat works, so the entire month of Sundays in July will be devoted to him.

Paton seems to loves tabbies and paints them very well.  This well-executed image captures the essence of cat motherhood.
