Remembering a friend

"Phae" 5"x 7"
Recently a friend lost her cat, her beloved friend of over twenty years, and asked if I would paint her cats picture from a photo of when she was younger and in good health. She was pleased with this painting. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened" Anatole France

  5. The painting is as soft and gentle and sweet as I'm sure the dear kitty was. I have a few paintings of my departed cats and they provide such comfort and fond memories. I'm sure your painting will do the same for your friend.
