Sungazing is a small-scale hyperrealistic portrait of a playful calico Maine Coon cat resting peacefully in a pool of warm sunlight. The golden light softly illuminates her fur, creating a striking contrast against the dark background and revealing the richness of every texture and color. Her relaxed posture and quiet confidence bring a sense of intimacy and warmth to the composition. This original miniature artwork celebrates the simple elegance of stillness, light, and feline presence.

Sungazing was awarded 1st Pace in the Animal Category at the 2025 MPSGS exhibition.
