Yoshi is an Australian cat, with a Japanese name, who now lives in Austin, Texas, with a loving Greek and Persian family! His owner commissioned a portrait piece based on their favorite photos of Yoshi.

Since I couldn’t personally visit their home due to distance, they also shared photos of the room they were planning on hanging the painting so I could get an idea of the décor, color schemes and lighting.

I painted two portraits of Yoshi.

I was commissioned to do this painting to fit the fireplace mantelpiece in a new home. The owner shared his favorite Persian poetry verse with me as an inspiration for the painting. The word “Delbar”, lover, from that verse is abstracted to guide the composition in this piece.
