Green Cat After Midnight Painting

I'm fascinated by cats. I have painted this one as part of an ongoing series of green cat paintings. I first began painting green cats as a child after my music teacher asked me if I'd ever seen a green cat (there was a piece of piano music with this title that I was learning to play). I created this particular painting during lockdown. A friend was very upset over the fact her beautiful cat had gone missing. In my wish to be able to help her to find it, I came upon Anna Breytenberg, a South African interspecies communicator, who has become quite well-known for a seemingly extraordinary ability to communicate with animals. She said the techniques were accessible to anybody and so I tried them, while also working on this painting. I find cats particularly interesting at night. This picture is an experience in paint of a sudden meeting with a cat during the night. It reflects a moment that feels like magic, of locking eyes with a cat and its mysterious world which is not easily communicable in words but which I hoped to convey with an image. I thought of this painting as a very fortuitous one, a lucky painting, because within a day of starting it, combined with Breytenberg's technique, I was really happy to hear that my friend's cat had returned home. What's more, the cat, which previously had gone missing a few times, has so far never strayed again. The reason, from what I intuited using Breyrenberg's technique, was that the cat was afraid that it was going to be fitted with a collar. I'm only reporting facts of something that happened while I was painting this picture. I don't know how much it has to do with the artistic experience, only that it happened alongside it and therefore I feel I should mention it. The predominant theme of green and blue and touch of yellow exactly corresponds to the nocturnal music of the experience of the cat, during the nights of the summer of 2020 and the magic of someone who had lost something precious having it restored to them.
