Amelia McComb's "Sisters" is a tender and evocative work on paper rendered in charcoal, conte and pastel. The piece presents two sleeping cats curled together in perfect harmony, their forms creating a natural circular composition against a soft, neutral background. McComb demonstrates remarkable sensitivity in her mark-making, using gestural strokes that capture both the physical texture of fur and the emotional quality of companionship. The contrast between the darker and lighter feline forms creates a visual rhythm, while the limited palette of earthy browns, blacks and creams lends the piece an intimate, timeless quality. There is a beautiful economy to the work—with minimal lines, the artist conveys both physical warmth and emotional connection.

Companionship and Domestic Harmony
The artwork speaks to themes of companionship, security and the quiet moments of domestic life often overlooked in our busy world. At 40 x 40 cm framed, "Sisters" would bring a gentle, calming presence to any space, particularly in intimate settings such as reading nooks, bedrooms or cosy living areas. The piece works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors, its soft tones and universal subject matter allowing it to complement rather than dominate its surroundings. McComb's deft handling of her materials creates a work that appears both spontaneous and carefully observed, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the simple beauty of creatures at rest.
