The collector wanted to surprise her partner’s family with a holiday portrait of their late cat, Anya, who had passed away a few years prior. Originally considering a tiny format, we decided on an 8x8-inch square wood panel so I could capture her features, including her beautiful flame-point coloration and fluffy shoulders, at a more natural scale. It was a true pleasure to bring her soft, elegant presence back to life on canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI chose a solid, vibrant teal background because it acts as a perfect modern contrast that frames her light fur and makes her striking blue eyes completely pop. When painting light or cream-colored coats, I love finding hidden warmth; I layered soft peachy pinks and warm creams into the highlights of her face, while using delicate lavenders and light blues to structure the shadows. I applied the professional oil paint thickly with visible, expressive brushstrokes to give her fluffy fur a beautiful tactile volume, creating a lasting heirloom to be cherished forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy I love this commission\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMeaningful Holiday Memorial:\u003c\/b\u003e The artwork honors a beloved family pet, transforming a treasured memory into a timeless piece of fine art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBold Teal Contrast:\u003c\/b\u003e The clean, high-saturation background beautifully complements her warm cream fur and vivid blue eyes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eExpressive Eye Work:\u003c\/b\u003e Extra care was taken to capture the depth, reflection, and precise color profile of her intense gaze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThick Impasto Fur:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy layers of oil paint give the surface of the wood panel a rich texture that beautifully highlights the handcrafted process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal Oil painting by Alai Ganuza\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20x20 cm (8x8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eHandmade prepared wood panel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of Authenticity (COA) included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorldwide tracked and insured shipping via FedEx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AlaiGanuza","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58014786781509,"sku":null,"price":230.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9440\/6117\/files\/anya-white-cat-comission.webp?v=1779215172","url":"https:\/\/alaiganuza.com\/en-de\/products\/anya-custom-flame-point-cat-oil-painting","provider":"AlaiGanuza","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
