Sleeping Black Cat by Dirkie Nell pairs a curled-up black cat with an oversized cobalt blue vase and broad green leaves, all set against a warm golden background. The cat is tucked in behind the vase with its eyes closed and paws stretched forward, giving the composition a sweet, sleepy personality. A blue paisley-patterned cloth underneath adds another layer of color and detail, making this a particularly fun piece for cat lovers.

SIMPLY THE BEST! Jen’s prints are the highest of quality. Shipping and packaging fast and secure. Trust me I know. This is my 4th or 5th purchase. She responds quickly to inquiries and is thoughtful, kind and an absolute pro in all aspects of her business.

Jen at Sugar&Canvas went the whole 9 yards to help me put a border on this print. When I saw this design, I had to have. It matches my guest room bedding! How awesome! Great quality paper and vibrant, exacting colors. Love it! Thank you Jen

After hiring 2 artists to make an art piece for my daughters nursery and they both came back nothing like what I wanted, I had to order a pre-made and I'm happy I did. It may not the be original that I wanted but it's gorgeous!

It’s the first time I buy art print online, things that concerns me while searching online for the right art were the quality of the paper, the color brightness, size and all that. This one turns out great, without touching the surface and looking from not far distance, my partner actually thought it’s paint by hand. Love it!
