About This Image
Swimming Cat – Surreal Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.
This surreal swimming cat canvas print was inspired by observing cats, both my own as well as those of others. I’ve had cats all my life having grown up around them with a mother who came from a family that liked cats and a father who grudgingly learned to love them in his own way. As any cat lover will tell you, cats are characterful little creatures with all their own charms and quirks. It’s hard to lose them but hard to imagine life without them.
I’ve seen my own cats lie with their bellies flat on the floor and their back feet behind them in a most frog-like fashion. Not every cat does this but I’ve had several over the years. How about you? The subject of this swimming cat canvas print, however belongs to a friend. When she shared a photo on Facebook of him lying in this pose, it not only reminded me of some of my own cats over the years, it sparked the inspiration for this artwork. Because it hit me that her cat looked as if he might be swimming. I had a lot of fun creating this. And I feel like the result is quite fun. The sight of this cat paddling through the water with the fish just brings a big smile to my face. Is he fishing or is he practicing his swimming technique with the masters of that particular activity? I’ll leave that to you to decide!
I hope you’ll take a moment to share your thoughts whether they are about this surreal cat art or your own fondness for cats in general. If you’re looking for a print, if you have any questions about purchasing one, don’t hesitate to send me a message. Prints are available in a variety of sizes and formats. You can get anything from a large canvas print, to framed wall art, and, of course, paper prints for framing. Unique art is always a real treat whether it’s for you or a thoughtful gift for, in this case, the cat lover in your life.

Canvas Print – Product Information
Stretched canvas prints are a timeless way to enhance your home or office decor. Whether your style is traditional or modern, canvas art offers a versatile and sophisticated look that complements any space.
Each canvas print is custom-made to order, printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas using archival inks. This ensures your artwork will last a lifetime, retaining its vibrant colors without fading or losing detail.
When placing your order, you’ll have the option to choose between glossy or matte finishes. The glossy finish adds a subtle sheen, making colors appear more vivid, while the matte finish offers a softer look with reduced glare, making it ideal for brightly lit spaces. Let the natural light in your room guide your choice.
You can also select from three wrap styles for your canvas print:
- Mirrored wrap: The image extends around the sides of the canvas, preserving the integrity of the original artwork. This is the most popular and versatile option.
- Black wrap: A solid black color on the sides of the canvas.
- White wrap: A clean white color on the sides of the canvas.
A preview of each wrap style is available for you to view when selecting your option.
Once printed, your canvas is carefully stretched over a sturdy wooden frame made of 1.5″ x 1.5″ stretcher bars. The entire production process takes 5 to 7 business days. Your canvas print will be shipped in secure packaging with a hanging wire attached and all necessary hardware included, making it a convenient, ready-to-hang artwork.
