Blue Cat is an original abstract painting on canvas by visual artist Shawn McNulty. This painting is is 1.5″ deep, gallery wrapped with painted edges, and ready to hang with wire on the back.

Fun Fact: This painting looks as if the viewer is peering into some kind of scene within an aquarium, or perhaps peering through a keyhole. The title comes from the blue cat which you can find standing on a red form at the bottom left. This form happened almost completely spontaneously. I did a little reduction around the bushy tail. The most popular blue cat breed is the Russian Blue Cat. They are known to have an affectionate and intelligent disposition. This artwork is unofficially called the cupcake painting because several people have mentioned they see a big cupcake with sprinkles.
