The eyes draw you in first; they are pensive, fleeting, playful, alluring. All elements successfully captured within the eyes of the cats painted by artist Margaret Loftin Whiting. This California artist’s unique portrayal of cats shows her clear understanding of the distinctive moods that cats portray.Printed on acid-free archival paper these 12″ x 18″ prints offer an uncomplicated look at a complex creature. in “CHAT” one sees a grey beauty sitting on top of the word with a subtle curl of his tail circling the “C”. The look on his face suggests he just got caught dumping over the potted plant you had sitting in the corner of the livingroom.

In her print “GATO” you view the sleek, sinewy shape of a black cat descending over the word in true predatory nature. The eyes show the mystique often attached to black cats as well as a hint of mischief lurking in the eyes. Any cat lover knows well that look when their cat is intently stalking prey.

Margaret’s style is simple but elegant. These multi-colored graphic prints stand out as a visual representation of a world where individuality is cherished and unconditional love abounds. The two prints GATO and CHAT now hang on my wall in the front entrance of my home. They are framed in dignity and elegance that fine art deserves.
