Original oil painting on canvas stretched over fiberboard. 60×40 cm. Graceful Meinkun

Maine Coons are so graceful and majestic! Their every movement is an embodiment of flexible beauty, every look is a manifestation of their inner cat world… When this fluffy, kind creature is sleeping, a great force keeps me from grabbing it in my arms!
You will understand me if you love cats as much as I do. Don’t you?
Ah! How much simple greatness there is in a Maine Coon!
Yes. I really, really love cats. That’s why I like to paint them 🙂
The photo of this Maine Coon struck me with the straightforward sincerity of a kind cat’s gaze. The cat is calm and trusting. But he is ready to jump out of his seat at any moment and jump lightning fast and gracefully wherever he wants…
I deliberately did not reduce the image so that the lush tail, “cut off” by the edges of the canvas, because it does not fit completely into the picture, looked really very fluffy.
The bluish-gray background contrasts with the red fur, as if emphasizing the expressiveness of the cat’s character.
