Cat Tails (tales) is a 36" x 24" oil painting by Steve R. Coffey This painting uses wordplay and imagery to create a playful scene on a canvas that engages the viewer. The spelling of the title hints towards the subtle meaning of the painting. Coffey portrayed a figure sitting amidst various colours and textures, lost in thought within an overgrown garden. It is a richly textured oil painting that cleverly incorporates a visual pun. On closer inspection, the viewer can spot a cat nestled beside the seated figure, adding depth to the title's double meaning by interweaving the literal representation of a feline companion. The lush brushwork and vibrant colours evoke a sense of story and folklore, as if the pair were characters in an untold tale.
