While in WA I was staying at my parents, I am always pleasantly surprised by a painting I did several years ago. I did this as a demonstration for a Painting course I was teaching at the local community college.

So far the paintings has had a short but interesting life. The painting was a demonstration on the use of a limited pallet, then it hung for a short while on the wall of my studio. After it was there for a couple of months I gave the painting to my Great Aunt, Annie. She was nearly 90 when I gave her the painting. It is a painting of my cat at the time, Fritti. Annie was very fond off Fritti, and called him “The Boy”. She had the painting in her room for a couple of years, until her accident and then she had to go to an assisted living facility. She was unable to take the picture with her.

Now the picture is hanging in my mothers house, actually it is in the bathroom.
