Cat Challenge

The Six Cats

This is a painting I did a few years ago. It's one of my favorites and has even won 2nd Place Award at Montgomery Kiwanis show in Ohio. The funny thing is I accidentally double booked myself that weekend and my husband had to do the show for me. Well he got his photo taken and everything for my win. Guess it was good thing he could feel the feeling of being in my shoes for a day. I have sold many prints of this one but my original is still with me. A good memory to hold on to because it inspired me to do the next painting as well.

50 Cats and a Basset

So one of my son's Ethan was looking at my Six Cats painting and said "Mom, I bet you couldn't do a painting with 50 cats!" I replied, "Yes I can and you can help me!" We spent hours together trying to find the perfect places to hide them. Even hid 2 as the light switches on the lamps. Some of our notes are on the back of them. Many times of losing count was frustrating but it was great quality fun with him. I still have the original and told him when I sell it I will give him a portion of the sale because he worked really hard as well.
