Art Every Day Month – Day 4

My very first cat ever was a butterscotch (or marmalade) cat named Kiki. She loved to watch outdoors. We lived on a busy street, so for many years we let her go outside in the back yard during the day on a light chain under a huge pine tree, stocked with food and water, an experience she loved and hated. We also took her camping with us. In her later years, we trusted her to have good sense and stay close, so we began to let her out back unfettered. She loved to sit under the garden ferns, watching and sometimes catching birds. She was a good cat, and she put me on the path to being a cat lover since.

    nice one! I like the textures, and whatever you did with glue (?) to make the little clouds up there…
    you’re doing pretty well for using your constrained medium!

    It reminds me of a card where two cats are on a fence and one says to the other “If I had two mice, I’d give you one.” I remember Kiki. She was a beautiful cat.

    This is just so sweet! I love cats, I have always had one. They just love to look at the sun and sprawl out when the sun streams into my slider. Mine are always inside cats, so the concept of grass is alien to them. Love the collage textures on this piece.
