When Paul Gauguin visited Polynesia during the latter part of the 19th Century, he was dismayed by all the cats there. Especially in Tahiti, women walked around carrying cats on their bosoms and appeared to be offering the cats to him. Paul was fascinated by the bare-chested natives but his aversion to cats would not permit him to get close to the girls. Finally, unable to contain his admiration (his lust?) any longer, he decided to paint these two beauties...but only if they consented to put down the darn cat and pick up a plate of fruit (or was it a water melon?). This here painting, then, is the way that Gauguin "should have" portrayed the Polynesian girls. Have a great day!

BTW the little kitty with the awesome eyes was my neighbor's cat Serian (not sure if that was the right spelling of the name).

George Perez is a concept artist and illustrator. While in college, he took art courses leading to a certificate in Commercial Art. Apart from that, he is a totally self-taught artist; basically he contemplates a subject and attempts to render it artistically. He can work in all art media. He prefers portraying animals and nature scenes and enjoys reproducing Classic Paintings--for instance, refer to his "The Master's Cat" collection right here in this webpage. George would be happy to do commission artwork, just reach out and let him know what you have in mind.
