Watchful Knight

by Hope Doe

I recently discovered that Icelandic folklore includes a Yule Cat as a part of their traditions. This painting is loosely based on the Yule Cat. Instead of the kitty eating children who do not get a new piece of clothing for Christmas, this kitty has a protecting watchful eye over the solidarity of this little household.
