Selene by Jennifer L. DeAngelis

2019 Cat’N Around Catskill – Cat #42

Sponsored by: Columbia Memorial Hospital

Description: Selene was the goddess of the moon, personified. This cat is painted a burgundy pearl in homage to the color of dusk, as the sun sets and the moon rises. The moonflower vine is inspired by those I grew in my garden from seed, sculpted from magic sculpt, and finished with a pearlized paint.
