Night Watch
A cat holds its post on the couch, silhouetted against the deep blue of evening windows. Warm light bleeds through from somewhere beyond — a neighbor's room, a streetlamp, another life happening in parallel. Tiger and leopard print pillows anchor the foreground, a quiet nod to something wilder living inside domestic comfort.\n\nThere's a discipline to stillness. Anyone who's pulled a night watch knows it — the world goes quiet, and you see things differently. This painting lives in that space between alert and at ease, where the familiar becomes something worth studying.
Night watch is the loneliest shift. Hours where nothing moves but your thoughts and the second hand. A cat sits in a window, awake while the world sleeps, watching the dark like it owes an explanation. Discipline isn't dramatic — it's the act of staying still when everything in you wants to move.
