A Surprise 50th Birthday Cat Painting
Here’s a little something I’ve been working on this week. My mum asked me to create a cat painting for my auntie’s 50th Birthday because we are unable to make her party. Her birthday is today so it’s safe to post this now without spoiling the surprise!
My mum originally wanted the cat to be with a cake which was shaped like a 50 but I felt that a massive 3 tier cake with embellishments would be better compositionally. The perspective on the cake is a little bit weird towards the top but it kind of works for some reason.
I hope she likes it.

This is such a lovely and thoughtful gift! I think you made the right call opting for the more elaborate cake; it adds a real sense of celebration. The perspective being a little quirky actually gives it a charming, almost whimsical feel that suits the subject perfectly.
