Zacuscă (IPA: [za.'kus.kə]) is a vegetable spread very popular in Romania. Similar spreads are found in other countries throughout, or bordering the Balkans. It's a very colorful dish.

I was looking for a title for my new painting, so I showed it to a friend. I think it was the colors that made her say "but this is our cat Zakusca!" So Zakusca it is!

The kittycat is painted, with one photo overlay. I went for a semirealistic look, with some photographic blurring effects. You can see the stock photo I used here: http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=454459

Done with my Wacom tablet.

Dedicated to all cat lovers.
