A painting of a wide-faced tom cat. The cat has a white stomach, paws and lower face, with tabby cat markings on the upper half of its face and body. The head of the cat and paw are shown in the picture. The body, suit, desk and microphone are from a photograph of George Orwell.

I used two paints for this painting:

• Daler Rowney Georgian Oil titanium white

• Daler Rowney Georgial Oil burnt umber

I did the painting on Canson Canva-Paper coated in Daler-Rowney white gesso primer.
