Cat pops up out of koi fish potted plant in a whimsical painting

Who Said There Were Fish In Here - Original Americana by Bill W Dodge

“Who Said There Were Fish in Here?”
Original Painting by Bill W Dodge
Painting: 18" x 24" - Framed | 23.25" x 29.25" (including frame)

Curious, comical, and unmistakably charming, “Who Said There Were Fish in Here?” is a whimsical original painting by Americana favorite Bill W Dodge. A wide-eyed orange tabby cat pops out of a porcelain vase filled with fresh-cut flowers—completely ignoring the koi fish swimming along the vase’s surface. With its tail shooting skyward and mouth mid-meow, the cat steals the spotlight in this imaginative twist on a traditional still life.

Laced curtains, a blue checkerboard tablecloth, and vibrant spring blooms frame the scene with nostalgic flair, while the vase’s ornate design adds a delightful layer of visual storytelling. True to Dodge’s style, every detail is painted with precision and wit.

Whether you’re a cat lover, art collector, or fan of the unexpected, this painting is a one-of-a-kind conversation starter.
