"Animals are one of my favorite subjects, and black scratchboard is a wonderful surface for creating fur textures and whiskers. To further utilize the attributes of scratching, I recreated the worn wood of an old storage cabinet I have on my porch and sat a ball of rough fuzzy twine on top. I had photographed the cat, Roger, while visiting a friend and used a shot of him staring upward on the custom-cut vertical panel, positioning him peeking in from the lower corner for added interest. The twine was even more confusing than barbed wire I've depicted in earlier artworks, but so satisfying when I was able to capture the hairy texture. Note to self - scratch twine again! Roger approved of my final painting and his mom loved it too!"
