Little Blue Original by Annie Mitra
Painting on canvas
20cm x 20cm
I didn’t want this painting to be a collage made entirely out of buttons. I pictured a cat straight away and knew that the buttons would represent the eyes. I played around with several sketches before ending up with the simplicity of a kitten, who, after all and when very young, have little button eyes!
