Portrait of Obi
The painting is of a ginger tom cat named Obi Wan. He was painted by Kristen French who had this to say about her subject:
'I conducted a photo shoot with Obi, so got to know him a little and he was a joy to encounter. He took all of the great qualities of cats and amplified them. He was incredibly independent, self-assured bordering on cocky and commanded the space when he walked in. He was also inquisitive, liked a good cuddle and sociable. When selecting the best photo from the shoot to use for the portrait, I had to laugh as the photo the client selected epitomized that self-assured streak - a lion in a cat's body. '
