Whimsy Cat Acrylic Drawing

Whimsical acrylic composition done by Canadian artist Barbara Mercer, signed and dated 1998 lower right, titled “My Cat Frigga in the Garden” verso, with artist label attached. The composition showcases a colorful garden scene with a resting cat as the centerpiece. The painting features bold outlines, giving it a stained-glass-like appearance, and uses vibrant, almost surreal colors. At the center of the composition, Frigga sleeps peacefully, nestled in a green garden chair. The cat is painted in soft tones, with delicate brushwork emphasizing its fur and serene expression. The background includes stylized trees, plants, and a terra-cotta potted plant on the left. In bold forms and colours, the painting uses expressive outlines to create a graphic, almost illustrative quality. The tree behind the chair is painted in a mix of pink and peach hues, which adds a fantastical touch to the piece.

Such a tranquil, dreamlike moment in a garden!
