Thomas O'Malley the alley cat - a sumptuous sea food banquet set before him. He is only interested in the little gold fish swimming around in chardonnay. What can we read into that? This image was a joy to create. All of the seafood was from a local dealer, as was the fruit and wine...the dishes are all odds and ends from mum's pantry, including my grandparents wedding platter and tablecloth.

In Dutch still life, a decadent seafood banquet was a symbol of high living. The dragonfly is a symbol of death (he's ready to devour the smaller insects) as of course is the skull. Cats and oysters can both be viewed as objects of lust and sexuality.
