Description
Lucifer Sam is title that I borrowed from a song by Pink Floyd. It appeared on their 1967 album, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. The song was about a mysterious cat. That's one reason why I used the title but also because the name 'Lucifer' has become associated with Satan/the devil. I thought this cat had taken on an evil look. I don't think the cat in the song was evil. One of the lines in the song was "that cat's something I can't explain", but my cat, I can explain. Although I painted Lucifer Sam in watercolours, you would never think so looking at the finished product.The original was one of those paintings that didn't quite have the same impact as I intended. I managed to save something from my painting by using a very simple computer/camera effect. I have put the full story on my Facebook page for anybody that is interested: https://www.facebook.com/ArtOfMart
