Illustration Friday-canned

(This image and the title struck me last winter, and I painted it this spring.)
canned life

The orange cat's life is canned in the city.
He has enough convenient stuff,
but his dream is canned with those cans.
One freezing night, he sees the green elephant flying in the city sky.
His heart begins throbing, and he can feel it spring up from his canned room.

Poor cat. A think cats aren't meant to live all their 9 lives indoors. Although vets will say a cat is likely to live longer inside, it is like having 9 life sentences in a jail.

Nice illo. too. I like the painterly texture.

Actually, the cat's model is my cat used to be with me. He represents every urbanite and dreamer including me. I miss him much.
