Cat Perched Near a Window

Did you ever go to summer camp? I've had the opportunity to attend a certain faith based camp in 3 different roles- a youth participant, and adult chaperone, and on the behind the scenes camp management team! That organization left a big mark on my life and I am grateful for all of those opportunities.
The camp also brought about many deep connections with friends that I still keep in touch with more than a decade later! One friend I made reached out last week and asked if I could paint a cat portrait for his wife. Of course I was happy to do it! I believe the plan is to receive it as a Christmas gift so shh! Don't share if you recognize this cat! ☺️

Grieving a Cat

Oh it hurts to lose a pet!

It was my joy to paint this mischievous kitten for a friend who lost their furry friend!
When I saw the photo of the cat hiding in the refrigerator I knew that would be the snapshot that would always help my friend think of her cat with a smile!
Rest In Peace, little cat. Thank you for your companionship and love. 💕

Happy New Year!
