Ever since I saw the butterfly with the owl’s eye, I wanted to put it on real cat’s face. I tried it once 5 years ago but didn’t like it half way there. So that piece was left behind and collecting dust. Five years later, I discovered a reference photo. It showed a white cat with half of its face fading in shadow. So I can’t help but put a butterfly on its nose. The yellow spot finally becomes the cat’s eye. An false eye.

Although I tried my best to match the digital image the same as actual painting but the color may vary due to different monitor and monitor settings. Please be aware of this fact.
Hope you enjoy this one. :D
