"Roland the Warrior Cat"
by Alexandra MacKenzie
Size 3"x5" |
|
The letter R is for a friend's cat, Roland, who is pictured as the top
part of the R. As he was named for the French medieval knight, a sword
forms the back of the R and medieval knights battle at the bottom. Gold
leaf was applied to the sword and to the flames running along the bottom
section of the R; Roland is a flame-point Siamese. My friend has a
business, Thistle Graphics, and the thistle design on her business cards
is also used in the painting.
This piece uses watercolor paint (drybrush technique) and 22K gold leaf on calfskin vellum. |
