Highland Beauty - Scottish Fold Cat Painting



"Highland Beauty"  Scottish Fold Cat Painting by Tanya Amberson

Commissioned portrait of a Scottish Fold Cat. This breed is unique because of their folded down ears caused by a natural dominant gene mutation. The folded ears combined with their characteristic round faces and large eyes give them an owl like appearance. The original Scottish Fold was a barn cat born in 1961 in Perthshire, Scotland. In time she passed her gene for folded ears on to her kittens and caught the attention of a neighbor farmer who also happened to be a cat fancier. Thus a new breed of cat came into being.

 Special Thanks to Paul and Stacey Tosch and also to sweet little Pickle, who passed over the Rainbow Bridge way too soon.

10% of sale proceeds was donated to Tabby's Place Cat Rescue.

Media: Acrylic Size: 14 in X 11 in on gallery wrapped canvas
