Well-fed, well-loved, and comfortably middle-aged, he has the self-possession of a gentleman who knows exactly how good he has it. A passing tourist might christen him Mr. Bon Vivant. He is all business, though the little ball at his feet suggests a recreational streak. Perhaps he even plays fetch, that rare feline talent reserved for cats with unusually strong opinions about how their humans should behave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"X_KE3q3NvZPyCN\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"eJyI1QEPfL1TGa\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ak-renderer-wrapper is-full-width css-1jke4yk\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"none\" class=\"css-1rdnlz4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ak-renderer-document\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"550\"\u003eThe painting is a playful homage to Wayne Thiebaud, whose delicious use of color Iris has long admired. Thiebaud famously painted cakes and confections, but here his chromatic sensibility finds a less conventional subject: a white cat basking in the sun. His fur is constructed from thick, deliberate strokes of ivory, peach, lavender, and pale blue, with unexpected flashes of electric color along his silhouette. The oil paint is extravagantly substantial, each fingertip impression left intact, giving the entire surface the irresistible texture of buttercream frosting. Iris has always loved studying other painters by borrowing a little of their visual logic and seeing what happens when it meets her own. In this case, the experiment has produced a cat who looks almost good enough to eat, though he would certainly object to the suggestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear Created:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePainting Size: \u003c\/strong\u003e20x20 inches.
