Description:
This pet portrait in a uniform, is set against a simple rich peachy background with wrapped edges.
Here we see a pet portrait of a friend’s cat created in acrylic as a birthday gift.
Riku has lovely white fur with gorgeous gold eyes and is a suggestive portrait of his face only, then I painted him as half portrait wearing a glamourous musketeer’s navy jacket uniform with gold trim. Riku is wearing a beautiful purple feathered navy hat. The hat features a purple ribbon bow which matchings the purple bow neck cravat under his chin.
Riku’s paw can be seen holding a venetian mask.
Ici, nous voyons un portrait animalier du chat d'un ami créé en acrylique comme cadeau d'anniversaire.
Riku a une belle fourrure blanche avec de magnifiques yeux dorés et n'est qu'un portrait suggestif de son visage, puis je l'ai peint comme un demi-portrait portant un uniforme de veste marine de mousquetaire glamour avec des garnitures dorées. Riku porte un magnifique chapeau bleu marine à plumes violettes. Le chapeau comporte un noeud de ruban violet qui correspond à la cravate du cou noeud violet sous son menton.
On voit la patte de Riku tenant un masque vénitien.

About the Artist
English autodidactic painter, born in London, grew up in the 1960's Shoreditch, London.
Her artistic influence expanded and blossomed with the introduction of Orientalism in art in the early 1980's. Beautifully vibrant and lush, she populated a series of Middle East, Orientalist scenes in Watercolour by famous artists Giulio Rosati and Antonio Gargiullo.
By the late 1980's she developed her own style, painting more in oils extending her skills to commissioned work for friends, painting their favourite subjects. In the 1990's a window opened to assist at a local community Sunday art club at Napier Grove N1, run by artists for the local community, thus proving opportunity to interact with other artists an opportunity to network, show and exhibit her works at the club, with encouragement to show and sell her paintings to a wider audience.
Exhibitions and Selling
In the past a handful of paintings were shown in the gallery space at the Lion and Lamb, Hoxton, she exhibited a painting in the London Mall Gallery in the 1980's, but rarely participate in exhibitions, painting being secondary to her main professional career, nevertheless the Artist has successfully sold most of her works, as demonstrated by the steady sales of her paintings in the UK and Europe to private clients and galleries.
A collection of her paintings can be viewed at her portfolio on the Artmajeur Gallery website. Details about the Artist are documented on Wikipedia.
Some much earlier paintings bear the FAR branding with FAR tags. These were documented on the Fine Art Registry (FAR) until FAR abandoned hundreds of artists without warning, the site went down in 2012 with no recovery of digital images. Fortunately, most digital images were curated on the Artmajeur platform.
