Mousetrap
26 August 2025
Acrylic on poly-cotton canvas
16 x 24 inches (40.6 x 60.9 cm)
This was painted with the idea of entering it for a call for art titled, "PERICULO FELIS: Cats with threatening auras". I will accompany Pounce and Crouch. I painted this guy to be more of a threat to mice and his weak effort to blend in with the prey. Funny enough, I painted it on a piece of Disney wall art. It might have been subliminal, but I don't think so. I was already well into the painting when I realized the connection. I was mostly concerned with the poor quality of the wall art. I cut the edges off and pulled the canvas over to the back. I kind of wish I'd kept the sides because it would have fit well in the frame. It worked out and I like the final result.
This gif doesn't show many steps. Of more interest was the repurposed canvas.
Also, I forgot I had it so it sat for 192 days for one day of painting. How time flies.
Mousetrap is in this custom built frame with no paint -made with a repurposed antique bed frame.
It's behind glass and those make below average pictures.
